It’s time to announce the winner of June’s Win a Blind Date With a Book competition.
It is very easy to judge a book by its cover. I know I do it. Our competition is one with a twist. It’s your chance to win a blind date with a book.
I didn’t reveal what the title was of this month’s book was nor did I reveal the cover. All I did reveal is that the themes include ‘Family, Mystery, Secrets and Sibling Relationships.’
Well done to Jessica Askew from Essex. I hope you enjoy your blind date and I will be in touch via e-mail shortly.
The new competition for July will be posted soon.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
Laura, thanks so much for this book. I would not have looked twice at this book in a bookshop, but after reading and enjoying this book, I have since bought another book by Jewell. 🙂 xx
That’s fantastic news. I am pleased you enjoyed The House We Grew Up In. I’ve loved Lisa’s books for years. What book did you buy? x
Congratulations. I will email you ASAP (sorry, today ran away with me) or if you want to send address details to laura@novelkicks.co.uk, I can then get your prize to you. 🙂 x
Wow!!! Awesome 🙂 xx
