Hey, so I've been practically invisible this week - how teachers can set a multitude of homeworks, courseworks and statistics exams the week before the Easter Holidays I have no idea.
Other than my disastrous academic life, however, I feel blessed and contented this week, so as a way of passing forward my luck and blessings (hopefully not the misfortunes), I'm giving away three copies of my favourite book, Lucy Christopher's Stolen:
This book deserves so much more praise than it does. I feel it really should be on everyone's bookshelves. The writing style alone should warrant many, many stunning reviews - that's not mentioning the psychological and emotional effect the emotions and richness of the book offers its readers. I feel Stolen is underrated - which is why I'm trying to share this book to you!
Nope, entrants do not have to be a follower, but you do have to promise to read Stolen and/or maybe to write a review for it afterwards and/or to pass the word of its beauty around. Especially to pass the word around. Deal?
*Just drop a comment with your name, e-mail and country, and pick which you like better: Economics or Archaeology?
*Tweets/RT will get an extra entry (please leave link) as will sidebar links and blog posts (if you do all 3, you get 10 extra entries)
*Open to the farthest corner of the earth - better if Stolen hasn't reached your part of the world just yet!
*Ends 18th April, 5pm BST.
Just in case, you need further convincing on just how stunningly beautiful Stolen is, my review can be found here. I hope you guys enter!

I have Economics as one of my subjects but Archaeology sounds so much more 'deep'!! So Archaeology for me(though I admit I am a bit confused between the two)..
