It’s February, a new month, which means it’s time for me to give away a class set of novels via my book shop @ANewChapterBks. Last month a class got a full set of Malamander, which hopefully strengthened their reading offer. Simply RT for a chance to win.
Over Christmas Mrs Watson entered a competition to win a full class set of books and she won it! We have been very kindly gifted a full class set of Malamander by @ThomasHTaylor and as a bonus a copy of each of the sequels. Thank you so much @MrBoothY6 and @ANewChapterBks
