From time to time we find that there are odd couples on the shelves next to each other. For example:

and

612x7ltb7pl_sl500_aa240_1

snuggle up next to each other on the bottom shelf of our biography section!

Finally, we’ve got there.

We’re very sorry that it took so long, and we’ve learned a lot about doing this sort of competition, so it shouldn’t happen again.

The winning stories will be uploaded onto http://caravanstories.wordpress.com/ by the end of this week.

For inviting me along to bore you rigid with my life story in books tonight! It was a bit scary, but I enjoyed it, and you were very kind to me.

I hope it was all ok.
