Australia Day Book Giveaway Blog Hop

Posted on January 25, 2013 by rachael johns

Welcome to the Australia Day Book Giveaway Blog Hop

To celebrate Australia Day on January 26th, the fabulous Shellyrae of Book’d Out organised an awesome Aussie author, reader and reviewer blog hop. I love Australia Day – especially the fact our shop closes and I can get in some extra reading time – and so was excited about taking part.

If you’re one of my overseas readers and want to know what this crazy thing called Australia Day is, you can read more here!

Basically most of the people I know, use it as a day to relax off work, get together with family and friends, which often involves a good old Aussie bbq and a few drinks. In Perth we have an awesome Skyworks show on the Swan River foreshore with music and fireworks and I can’t wait till the day I get up the guts to face the crowds and take my kids.

To celebrate all things Aussie, I’m giving away a Rachael Johns book pack and bag (including signed copies of MAN DROUGHT and JILTED) to a random commenter who will be chosen via Random.org My contest is open to comments all over the globe! If you can leave your email address that would be fab, otherwise be sure to check back here next week when I’ll announce the winner 🙂

After you’ve left a comment to my giveaway, be sure to follow the link at the bottom back to Book’d Out and a list of all the other blogs participating. It might take you all day but if you click on all the links and enter all the contests, you could be up for some cracker prizes. 🙂

Entries close midnight on Monday 28th January 2013 and winners will be announced that week.

So, wishing all a fabulous Australia Day and don’t forget to enter my contest and then click here to follow the links to loads more fabulous Australia Day contests: http://bookdout.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/australia-day-book-giveaway-blog-hop/

I love Australia Day – 26th January 1970 was the day I first set foot on Aussie soil – 26th January 1983 I became a citizen. I get more and more immersed in my adopted culture every year – including hosting an Australia Day BBQ each year. I am also participating in the Australian Women Writer reading challenge and am in love with our Australian writers – have made so many new discoveries.

Thank you very much! I`m in love with this giveaway! 🙂 I`m from Europe and I`m non-native English speaker; there is not a very big choice of books in English here (except online shops) and they`re usually from American and British writers so this is a very beautiful opportunity to get to know the Australian writers 🙂
Thanks!

My daughter has just introduced me to your books. I’m sure I will enjoy them as I grew up in the northern wheat belt of good ol’ WA.
