Who wants a free book?

[AtaxiaBookFairy]

Two conditions though: 1/ UK-only (my postage costs); 2/ You must have some connection to ataxia - either as a patient, carer or supporter (although the fact that you're here, probably answers that condition anyway I expect).

I have 3 books to give away (and this will probably become a weekly thing - although it may just be one in future weeks - depending on how many I have).

These are all brand-new quality books, including some bestsellers. Mostly fiction, although there are a few self-help books too.

AND THE BOOKS ARE TOTALLY FREE. THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE ANY DONATION.

The three books are:

1. The Life of Death - Lucy Booth.

This is a very special book indeed. Lucy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. And, sadly, passed away in 2016. She wrote this book in the years between, and which has now been published posthumously (although it is a fictitious story, and not the story of her battle against cancer).

2. The Cliff House - Amanda Jennings.

Cornish Noir at its finest. The Daily Express reckons this is "Perfect summer holiday reading". The book has very kindly been signed by Amanda Jennings herself.

3. If You Were Here - Alice Peterson.

I haven't read this book myself yet - but it is the very next book on my "To Be Read" list. From the book blurb: "If a test could reveal your future, would you take it? An emotional, inspiring and uplifting novel, which will break your heart and put it back together again. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Jill Mansell".

So if you fancy one, just reply "Yes please", or indicate which of the three books you would prefer - and I'll pick three random replies (next Monday, so that everyone that just pops in here once-a-week has a chance too).

I also give one book away each week on Twitter. This week, it's a hardback copy of "The Beekeeper of Aleppo" (Christy Lefteri). It's a brilliant book - and in time I expect it will be seen as THE book which defines a moment in time (and not one of Mankind's proudest moments either).

If you fancy that one too, then:

That is a really lovely positive thing to do, I'll pass ATM but I'm impressed.

Thank you for your kind comments. As said, this should become a regular thing.

A kind and positive offer to members of the Ataxia community, but for me, no thank you! 😀👍

[AtaxiaBookFairy]

Three books were on offer - and four people replied.

And as it would feel wrong to leave just one person out, I have added another book (the US version of "Fatal Inheritance", signed by Rachel Rhys herself - this book is not available to buy in the UK).

So the FOUR winners are:

Send your address details to me by PRIVATE message here (it is never a good idea to leave your details on an open forum).

Thank you. And enjoy the books.
