Mother’s Day is almost upon us and if she’s anything like mine, your mum deserves the world. There is no price that can be put on their worth and much as you would like to give her the world… it’s not possible.
What we are offering this Mother’s Day is the chance to win her an escape to another world, either in fiction or on her dinner table.
May sees the release of the new Karly Lane novel Second Chance Town, which I am eagerly awaiting, and to celebrate Allen & Unwin are generously providing us with a set of 6 Karly Lane novels and 4 runners up prizes of The Lovers’ Guide to Rome by Mark Lamprell and What’s For Dinner by Nadia Lim.
This is what Goodreads has to say about Second Chance Town:
The town of Bundah is dying, with many of its young people fleeing for jobs in the city. A desperate plan to revive Bundah’s fortunes – with generous incentives to attract new businesses – results in a flood of people coming to the town to set up shop.
As Bundah begins to come to life with the new arrivals, a spate of teenage drug overdoses starts to divide the locals. Many are convinced the narcotics trade has been brought to town by one of the newcomers. It doesn’t help that the mysterious new owner of one of the local pubs has a dark past.
Lucy Parker is a single mother doing her best to support her teenage daughter, Belle, through her last year of high school. It’s long been Belle’s dream to go to university, so when she starts to stray, hanging out with the wrong kids and experimenting with alcohol and possibly drugs, her mother is deeply troubled.
The very last thing Lucy needs is for a man like Hugh Thompson to mess with her heart and disrupt her life. However it seems fate has other ideas.
Suspenseful, pacy and packed with romance, Second Chance Town is a scintillating novel that is sure to grow the fan base Karly Lane has established with her bestselling novels Poppy’s Dilemma and Gemma’s Bluff.
The Karly Lane book pack includes:
- Second Chance Town
- Tallowood Bound
- Poppy’s Dillema
- Gemma’s Bluff
- Bridies Choice
- Morgan’s Law
4 lucky runners up will receive:

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!
My mum, as she puts it, is an armchair traveller, so definitely deserves an escape to another world so she can add to her literary experiences, an add another stamp or two, to her mental passport.
My mother deserves a book pack to keep her company as she travels around Australia in a caravan with my Dad – he buries himself in books so Mum needs something to keep her occupied while he is reading . Plus I am hoping she will pass them onto me when she is finished
My Mum died in 2001 and 5 weeks later my Dad died, too. They both loved books and reading and imbibed my siblings and I with this love, too. My sister has been a tremendous support to me through some very difficult times, through depression and anxiety and my world basically falling apart. I’d love to win this wonderful pack and give it to her in Mums’ memory, to let her know that Mum may not be here with us but that her love, spirit and memory lives on in us both.
Cause she willingly sacrifices sleep, independence and sanity, thr washing pile is her ‘Never Ending Story’, and ‘Kiss-Me-Katut” is too far away to be in her price range. Wonder Woman needs a time out every now and again too 🙂
My mom deserves to win this book pack as she is always working hard none stop just to keep the family going … she is a great mom as tired as she is , she manages to cook , clean , feed the family , gets us ready for school , does the washing , everything … so she deserves to relax , have a coffee and read some great books …
Mum has a 2 day trek to visit and loves reading all my books while she stays but will never take one and even found the one I tried to sneak into her bag and returned it. She spends 2 nights a week reading with my kids over the internet and has helped them love books just like us. I would love to give her a journey into another world.
With four adult children who all often ring her for advice and to whinge and whine or laugh or cry, she needs these books to escape from them all even if its just for a few hours she has to try 🙂
I’d love to win this prize for my mum – she loves reading and we have a chain of mums in our family she’d pass the books along to – so many mums would benefit!
My mum deserves this escape into another world this Mother’s Day as it would be the perfect way to thank her for introducing me to so many amazing books and the many places that I have been lucky enough to escape to through reading. Being a country girl, mum is particularly fond of this genre and surprisingly has not yet discovered Karly Lane so this book pack would give her many hours of enjoyment. Thank you for offering up this amazing prize!
My Grandma fostered my love of reading, and we have swapped books many times with much success. I lost my Mum and my Grandma her daughter, and I’d love to show her how much I appreciate her love and support, and that she got me to expand my life with reading.
