Giveaway! Win a Yankee Candle Advent Calendar!
14 Nov
Pleasse note – this giveaway is now closed.
Today I’m very excited to be kicking off The 12 Days of Not Just for Christmas blog tour with a fantastic giveaway in celebration of Alex Brown’s lovely new festive short story Not Just For Christmas. Each day from now until 25th November you’ll have the chance to win a festive prize or read a special post from Alex.
Today’s prize is the beautiful Yankee Candle advent calendar pictured below.
This giveaway is open to UK residents only and will close at midnight on Friday 18th November. Good Luck!
Kitty, who runs the Spotted Pig Tea-rooms in the picturesque village of Tindledale, thinks she’s come to terms with her husband Ed’s death on active duty. When she learns that Ed’s army dog, a black Labrador named Monty, is being retired and needs rehoming, it awakens her heartache once more.
Amber runs the pet parlour, but her love of dogs extends to rescuing abandoned pooches and now her tiny cottage is overflowing with homeless hounds. The only answer is to open a proper rescue centre but where will the money come from?
Kitty knows she could never take on Monty – it would be too painful, but with more than one dog needing a home this Christmas, is a miracle too much to hope for?
Not Just for Christmas is a lovely short story read – just perfect for curling up with on a cosy winter afternoon. Fans of Alex’s books will enjoy being back in the country village of Tindledale and if you’re new to the village and its residents, don’t worry at all – Not Just for Christmas is a perfect taster and introduction to the village and reads perfectly as a standalone.
I loved meeting Kitty and her daughter Teddie and their story was a particularly poignant one to read given the military angle as Armistice was remembered this weekend. Readers will have their heart stolen by Monty the army dog – he certainly stole mine. Not Just for Christmas is a lovely story of new beginnings that made me thankful and hopeful.
This giveaway has now closed.

Aww how lovely is this advent calender. Also, I’d love to read about Tindledale and Kitty’s adventures. Can’t wait to buy and read ‘Not just for Christmas’ Kitty is being very sensible as she knows she will never be able to look after Monty. I sincerely hope that Amber gets the money to open a rescue centre
I so can’t wait to read the book. Good luck everyone.
Thanks for all of your entries. This giveaway is now closed and a winner will be announced soon.
