I am beyond delighted to report that Fictionophile has just passed the 4,000 follower milestone. When I retired from my library career, in early 2017, I had only 52 followers, so the blog has come a long way since I’ve had more time to devote to it. 
As my way of saying THANK-YOU to each and every one of you, I would like to host an international giveaway. I live in Canada, but the majority of my followers reside in the United Kingdom and the United States so it would be most unfair of me not to go international.
I am going to give away an Amazon gift card. Due to the fact that all currencies are not created equal, the amounts seem different but are close to being the same value.
So as the graphic would suggest, the prize is $25.00 Canadian dollars or $20.00 U.S. dollars or￡15. pounds sterling in value.
To enter the giveaway, simply comment on this post in the space provided below.
If you have time, mention how long you have been following this blog and what your favourite and least favourite aspects of it are. (I’m always looking to improve)
I will put the names of all those who comment in the ‘Random Name Picker‘ and the winner will be contacted by email.
Good luck everyone!
Fictionophile 
Congratulations on reaching 4,000 followers (I only have 10! 😭)

Congratulations Lynne on this amazing achievement!!! I’m thrilled, though not surprised given your prolific and well-crafted, thoughtful reviews, that you and your blog have reached 4,000 followers. I think that maybe one of the “original 52” followers?!?! As such, I’d like to thank you for continuing to provide such wonderful reviews–many a books and authors that I have had the pleasure to be introduced to through your reviews.
In addition to your wonderful reviews, I particularly enjoy your Cover Love series and Wednesday Word posts–as well as your posts about words and language.

Congratulations ma’am on 4k followers, that’s a great achievement! I’m new to this whole blogging thing and just followed Fictionophile some days (4 maybe) ago, but I truly love the page. Your book reviews do not really spoil the story and it’s always a balance of the positives and negatives. Also, I adore the ‘bookish quotes’ section for obvious reasons! Fingers crossed for the giveaway!
