Hej allihopa! It’s time for another giveaway <3

I’ve included five different types of books in this giveaway; a kids books, a poetry book, a non-fiction book, a book with short horror stories and a John Green book. All in Swedish, of course! Everything will go to one winner.

To enter the giveaway, just do these two things:

Reblog this post and

Tag it with your favoure book genre

A winner will be picked with a random number generator on June 21st 2020. So make sure to reblog this post before then if you want to be certain that your entry is counted! Your tags won’t impact how likely you are to win - it’s more that I’m very curious, as well as a way to make sure that people have read the post before reblogging.

This giveaway is international, so you can enter no matter where you live.

However, if you are a minor, please ask for your parent’s/guardian’s permission before entering. This is because you have to give me your name and address if you win so that I can fill out the shipping information correctly when I send the box of things to you.

Please also make sure to have your instant messaging function turned on here on tumblr so I can contact you easily if you win!

Also please note that the shipping time might take longer than normal due to COVID-19. The stuff I have sent recently haven’t had too much trouble, but I wanted to make a note of this just in case.

Good luck!! 🇸🇪

& a huge thanks for the support on my kofi page! I’m only able to do these giveaways with your help <3 Right now the money I collect through kofi will go to my savings for the surgery I’ll have in September 2020, but after I’ve financially recovered from that I hope to be able to start doing giveaways again. https://ko-fi.com/samhannes
