WIN a happy-making ‘Books&Treats’ bonanza from LoveMyRead

This prize draw gives you the chance to curl up with a hot chocolate, and lose yourself in a good book. We have 8 bonanza bundles to give away, each worth £45 (scroll down to enter). NB you get lots of lovely little treats as well as three gripping new books

We love books – always have done since we were little girls thrilled at being given book tokens and then taking ages deciding what to spend them on. In fact, when Jo goes away on holiday, she takes one suitcase for clothes and one for books.

We’re talking about the real, happy-making, paper thing now, where you turn crisp pages yourself (not swipe right), and pop in a bookmark when your eyelids finally give up the battle to prop them open because you’re so engrossed in finding out what happens.

Interestingly, books are now recognised as a type of self-care, helping our emotional health and wellbeing – so no surprise that sales of print books have rocketed upwards as the pandemic set in. They can be, to borrow the title of a bestseller, ‘chicken soup for the soul’ – letting us put worries on one side and helping us to be in the moment rather than fretting about the future.

So we truly couldn't think of anything nicer than this wonderful venture called LoveMyRead. Imagine opening a beautiful box every month that not only gives you a hardback book you’ve chosen from a curated list of eight new titles (we chose a new thriller called The Survivors, feels apt…) but also LOTS of little treats.

Like the book choices, the treats change every month but you might find yummy things such as a Salted Caramel Ombar (a fave range of ours), a Josh’s Hot Chocolate Spoon (yum), a cute little candle called Party Animal (no, we don’t know either but it smells lovely) with a sleek refillable candle lighter (genius!), a fragrant Foaming Shower Gel by Rituals plus a discount card – or gosh! An Adaptogenic Coffee with Cordyceps and Ginseng from London Nootropics to restore our mojo with another discount card.

There are postcards with quotes too, and a card with fascinating Facts for the month. This month we discovered that January’s Moon is called the Wolf Moon, after the Saxon word for the month – Wulfmonath. (Not many people know that…)

For this prize draw, LoveMyRead is rolling three months into one bonanza box of three books plus treats, worth £45. Which should keep everyone very happy through the rest of winter. For a chance of winning a LoveMyRead ‘Books&Treats’ bonanza bundle, simply fill in the form below.
