November Winner:

The November prize was sponsored by Walker and they offered a fantastic prize pack of books signed by the lovely Zoe Marriott - The Night Itself, Darkness Hidden, Shadows on the Moon, The Swan Kingdom, Daughter of the Flames and Frostfire.

I'm very happy to announce that the lucky winner of this fabulous prize is:

Lindsay from Bookboodle
(for her review of The Way You Look Tonight by Richard Madeley)

Congratulations Chrissi! You have 1 week to email me with your address or a new winner will be chosen. By sending me your address you are agreeing that I can share your details with my lovely contact at Walker so that they can send out the prize pack for you.

December Prize Pack:

I've decided to sponsor the December prize pack myself so that I can make sure the giveaway is open for our international participants as well as the British ones. I've decided to let the winner choose any book of their choice from The Book Depository (up to a maximum value of £7) as long as the book is written by a British author. It can be an old book or a new release, even a pre-order of a 2015 title you're excited about (as long as you're happy to wait for the prize to arrive!), any genre, any age range, absolutely anything goes as long as the author is British!

One winner will be picked at random from the list of valid reviews submitted each month and will be announced in the following month's review link up post. The winner will then have 1 week to contact me to claim their prize or a new winner will be chosen. Obviously the more reviews you enter the greater your chance of winning but it doesn't matter if you only review one book (or even skip a month or two in the challenge!) you'll still be entered for each review you do write. This months giveaway is open internationally as long as The Book Depository offers free shipping to your country (you can find a list of countries included here)

Important Information:

1. Please make sure you sign up for the challenge before you start linking your reviews, I will delete links from people who aren't registered. You can sign up HERE if you haven't already.
2. When you add your link to the Mr. Linky below please make sure you link directly to your review, not just to your blog (invalid links will be deleted)
3. Books must have been read in 2014 to count towards the challenge so those books you read in December but reviewed in January don't count!
4. Also, please make sure that the reviews you link are for books written by British Authors - they can be born in Britain (living here or abroad) or they can be adopted British Authors (who were born elsewhere and now live here) but if they don't fit into one of those categories then they don't count. (as above invalid links will be deleted and won't get you an entry into the prize pack). Please note that Britain includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, I'm afraid authors from Southern Ireland don't count.
5. If you need ideas for books by British Authors check out the FAQ page for lots of suggestions. You don't have to choose books from these lists though - they are just to give you ideas if you need help!

Link Your Reviews:

Now for the important part, make sure you link all of your reviews using the Mr. Linky form below. In the Your Name field please include your blog name, the title of the book and the author. Make sure the link takes me directly to your review or your entry won't count and will be deleted from the list.

2015 British Books Challenge:

It's that time of the year when it's time to start thinking about which 2015 challenges you want to sign up for. While I've absolutely loved hosting the British Books Challenge for the last two years, and I hope you've all enjoyed taking part with me, it's time for me to pass the baton over to another blogger and I'm thrilled to announce that Michelle from Fluttering Butterflies will be hosting the challenge for 2015.

I'll definitely be signing up to take part in the challenge & I'm quite looking forward to being a normal participant again (and getting to enter for the chance to win the prize packs!) so I hope you'll all be joining me. You can find all the detail and the sign up page on Michelle's blog HERE.
