Happy Accident - a Giveaway


I had been waiting until I finished my RDI certification to reward myself with the purchase of a book I had been wanting to read for ages. So imagine my happiness when Sami, bringing in the mail, handed me the fat yellow envelope bearing Vicki Forman's memoir, This Lovely Life. Then, imagine my surprise and happiness when not one but two copies of the book slid into my greedy hands. A quick check of the receipt confirmed that I had somehow ordered two copies. I guess that's how badly I wanted to read this book. Anyone who knows Vicki through her writing on her blog, anyone who felt moved and inspired by the short life of her son, Evan, will understand why. Indeed, I'm only so many pages into the book and I can't wait to pick it up again each evening. If only I had a whole day to devote!!!

SO! A giveaway!

I am happy to pass on my extra copy to one lucky reader anywhere in the world!! Just leave a comment on this post and I'll randomly choose a name by Friday the 23rd of October.

And if you've never left a comment here before, maybe this will inspire you? Because Look! A Prize!! All you have to do is say "Hey!"

  4. I'm not entering the giveaway, just had to comment that I bought this book yesterday as a reward to myself, and it's so amazing I don't know if I want to finish it as soon as I possibly can or read a few pages at a time so it lasts longer.
