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!
