Lost My Name Giveaway


We are a family that loves books, and my boys are lucky to have plenty to keep their imaginations going. We discovered Lost My Name early last year and fell in love.  Their personalised stories are not just a name added in, but a whole story based around your name.  A little boy or girl with a lost name visits creatures big and small, mythical and real to collect letters which in turn remind them of who they are.



Dylan loves his story, and although he doesn't 'get it'  in the same way that an older child might, his fascination with letters means it is still a great choice, and this will be a book that stays with him, much like my own personalised story book from my youth which still resides on the bookcase in the dining room.  


I have partnered with the folks over at Lost My Name to offer one reader their very own free personlised story book.  With today being Give a Book Day, it seems perfect, and to enter simply follow the instructions on the rafflecopter below.  If you fancy buying one of these books for a special child, then I also have an exclusive discount code which gets you 20% off  - bookgivingday20 - which is valid until the end of the day (Feb 14th) on Lostmy.name

    I liked a couple of weird books as a child! 'Bottersnikes and gumbles' was one I remember well about 2 different creatures living along side each other. I also loved 'Gobilino the witches cat' about a kitten owned by a witch who wanted to live with children on a farm and all the different homes he had along the way! I hope that my son will enjoy these books but he's a bit young for them now and is still happiest with his cardboard Thomas or Peppa books!

    I loved the beatrix potter books when I was younger and am lucky that I still have the collection in good condition. Jack now enjoys me reading them to him - along with dinosaur books! I was thinking about getting one of these books especially for Jack who would love a book about himself!

    I really liked Roald Dahl books when I was younger. My little ones are a bit too young for the scarier ones (The Witches!), but really enjoyed The Giraffe, The Pelly and Me recently.

    The first book I can really remember captivating me was The Faraway Tree. After that, it was Swallows and Amazons. Potato isn't quite old enough for them yet, but he will be getting my copies of both :)

    My favourite series was the Famous Five / Secret Seven, - in fact most of enid blytons adventure books. I try to get my kids to read them, but they are probably a bit to old fashioned for them now!
