Don’t we all! And thanks to Walker Books Australia I have a very exciting book giveaway to share with you all!
If you cast your minds back to the beginning of the year, I posted my review of On The Come Up by Angie Thomas, the stunning story about a young rapper trying to make it in her world. Angie Thomas is also the author of the Goodreads Awards winning novel, The Hate U Give, which has recently hit the big screen. Both of these books are superbly written, contain such important themes and messages, and are a highly popular.
Today, my friends, you can enter our book giveaway to put your name in the hat to win yourself a SIGNED copy of The Hate U Give, and a copy of the 2019 novel, On the Come Up. Not only that, but you have not one, not two, but three chances to win, as Walker Books Aus has hooked us up with multiple copies of each!

"What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?"
Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community. It could also get her killed.

Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least make it out of her neighborhood one day. As the daughter of an underground rap legend who died before he hit big, Bri’s got big shoes to fill. But now that her mom has unexpectedly lost her job, food banks and shutoff notices are as much a part of Bri’s life as beats and rhymes. With bills piling up and homelessness staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it—she has to make it.
On the Come Up is Angie Thomas’s homage to hip-hop, the art that sparked her passion for storytelling and continues to inspire her to this day. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; of the struggle to become who you are and not who everyone expects you to be; and of the desperate realities of poor and working-class black families.
The book pack giveaway
Thanks to Walker Books Australia I have 3 book packs to giveaway! Each pack will contain a SIGNED copy of The Hate U Give and a (unsigned) copy of On the Come Up. I’m also running a giveaway over on Instagram for the same prize, and also on Twitter, but here on the blog your chances of winning are higher; you can, however, enter all three competitions if you want to really up your chances!
The details
The giveaway will run for one week, and will close on the 27th of April 2019. I will then draw a winner using the Raflecopter widget below, check that the winning entry is legit, and then contact the winners. If I do not hear back from the winner within 3 days, I will be re-drawing a winner. Please check your junk box if you enter, just in case you’re the winner!
I will ask you for your physical address so I can send you the book. Your address will then be sent to Walker Books Australia, who will then send you out your Angie Thomas book pack. Please allow up to 15 working days for it to arrive with you. It’s likely to take a lot less time than that, however it will be being sent from Australia so bear that in mind.
How to enter
To enter the giveaway, use the Raflecopter widget below. You’ll be asked to do simple things such as follow myself and Walker Books Aus on Instagram and Twitter. Each time you complete something, that counts as one name in the hat. The more you do, the more names in the hat you get, the more chances of winning.
Good luck, and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! Remember to head on over to Instagram and Twitter, to enter those giveaways too!
