I've just picked the three winners of my first giveaway! I loved doing it, I wrote the names on little pieces of paper and then put them in three different bowls. Sometimes I use this method to choose which book I'll read next. I like to leave it to the chance. I wrote the names of the people who blogged about the giveaway twice for each book. And now I have the winners who are........
For Harriet the Spy
Bunny
For The Tygrine Cat
Ivan Girl
For The last elf
Heatherlo
Each winner will receive the world book day books as well, if they like :)
Also I've decided to have one last draw for those who specifically mentioned Odd and the Frost Giant and the lucky winner is....
Ikkinlala
Congratulations! and I hope you'll let me know how you liked the books!
This was great fun, I can't wait for the next BAFAB :D

Buy a Friend a Book Week aka Spread the Love!
I've decided to join in the fun this week and buy you a book, or better 3 books:-)
I love buying books for people especially when those books are my favourites, and what better occasion than BAFAB week? All you have to do is leave a comment and tell me which of the 3 books you'd like, or if you'd like all 3 of them say so. But since I'd like to make 3 people happy you can only win one each! I will throw your names in a bowl, I don't have a hat sorry, and draw the 3 lucky ones.
So, if you win one of the books, and you're lucky enough to be drawn another time, I'll draw another name to give more people a chance to win
To give people time the deadline to enter is at the end of the week, April 6th.
Oh and obviously, if you spread the word I'll enter you twice!
One last thing: since these are books I don't want to part with I will buy you a new copy, that's the whole point, right?
The books I'm giving away to spread the love are:
Harriet the Spy: An all time favourite, recently re-discovered. Read why I love it here.
The tygrine Cat: This book is lovely and so is its author. I think more people need to know her! Read why here.
The Last Elf: One of last year's favourite. I've spread the love for this book a lot: my mum, my best friend, her mum, her granny...It's worth it! Read why here.
ps: I have some extra WORLD BOOK DAY BOOKS to add as well. If you have kids or just would like to have them say so and I'll add them. To see this year's books look here. You can choose as many as you like.
ALSO IF YOU WANT EVEN MORE BOOKS GO TO NYMETH, SHE'S CELEBRATING HER FIRST YEAR AS A BLOGGER AND GIVING AWAY SOME GREAT BOOKS!
