I hate living in a world that is more worried about people becoming addicted to pain killers than about people being in actual pain.

Home is where your books are shelved. So close to being done with the unpacking!

[charlie-and-books]

Here it is, to celebrate me passing 1000 followers (how, I still do not know why), here is my promised giveaway. Now this is a giveaway with a little twist! Each row represents a period of my life and the books I read during it. The top row is childhood books, middle is “coming of age” books (as in books I read in my late teens), and the bottom row are recent favourites. 

Now for the rules:

There will be 2 winners from my current followers (I have made a note of ALL my followers (if you have changed your username recently, please let me know) up to this date - 15/07/15, 19.15 GMT) who will get a choice of ONE book from EACH row. 

New followers (anyone who follows AFTER 15/07/15 19.15 GMT), do not worry, there will be another draw with all my followers who will win ONE of the books (winner’s choice).

You must be following me 

Only reblogs count, but please only one per day (think of your followers)

You must be comfortable giving me your address (under 18 PLEASE have your parent/guardian permission)

The giveaway will end September 12th

The books will be bought from The Book Depository, which is not affiliated in any way with this giveaway

Any questions, please ask, and, good luck!

Having a chronic illness is life-altering, but not life-ending.

We may not die from it, we may continue to live long lives, but they will be vastly changed from anything we ever imagined for ourselves.

We can still have lives though. A diagnosis doesn’t mean your life is over, it simply means your new normal is just beginning. :) Don’t ever give up.
