The winner of the birthday book draw is Jill (comment no. 3) and her mystery prize will be on its way to her soon (weather permitting).
Why is the prize a mystery? Firstly, I like it to be a surprise for the recipient - they won't know what they are getting until they unwrap it; secondly, I don't even choose the book until I've drawn (by random number generator) the winning name and that's because while I have several of my favourite novels in mind, I wait to see who has won in the hope that I can match the book to the person's taste - if I know anything at all about it. Fingers crossed I've chosen appropriately!
How fantastic that you tailor the book to the recipient. What a lucky girl she is.

Thank you Karen and the Cornflower family; I am beyond thrilled at winning the birthday prize. My addiction to the Cornflower blog and all the links and pathways it leads me on is totally justified. It is very very hot in my part of Australia at the moment so I am sitting in front of the fan with a cool drink reading Testament. Have a great reading year to all my virtual reading friends through Cornflower!
