Splash into Summer Giveaway Hop!
May 25th - May 31st



Since I am in Australia, it is really winter here! So I figured the best way to escape the cold was to join the Summer Giveaway Hop! I am going to tell you what I love about Summer (Which is actually not a whole lot!)


Frozen Coke!


Don't get me wrong, I love Coca-Cola all year round. But frozen coke on a hot hot day is pure bliss!




Icey-poles!


Particularly Cyclones or Toucan's - trying to eat them quickly, while they are dripping all over your hands (and usually all over my arms!)




Barbeques!


Friends and/or family, all together outdoors with meat on the barbeque, the footy playing on the tv and a lovely (alcoholic) beverage! Perfect weekends!




That's what I love about summer!


Now for the giveaway!




Usually I give you a bunch of books to choose from, but this time I want YOU to pick! Up to the value of $15! Ends May 31st!



Giveaway is International - as long as The Book Depository ships to your country so please check! :)





Check out the rest of the blogs participating!

  1. Do drinks count?

    If so, I would say smoothies. Strawberry-banana smoothies. Yum...
