Hang on a sec, let me count that again.
Oh, looks like I miscounted first time. Never mind. Everyone's a winner. No more books, or jiffy bags, now, so I'm afraid the competition really is closed.
But, what's this? Another chance to win copies here!
I feel a special mention must go to Morgan Hayton, who contacted me on behalf of the 'Books for Fiji' project.
This is the message Morgan sent me:
The [Books for Fiji] group started about 6 months ago, I am 16 and went on a school trip to Fiji to do volunteer work at some schools there. One school we went to only had a few books for the whole school and village, when we got back to Australia my teacher Mrs Dawson set us 5 students a task of how to help on our own, I came up with the idea of building the library one book at a time via people just sending one book when they got my email, I contact authors like Jackie French and Garth Nix and they sent a book but also suggested to put the request on Facebook as most author have a page there, well thats how its has grown and got to be on Pass it on and also on a local community radio in Melbourne.
I was so impressed, I sent off a copy of both A Vengeful Longing and A Gentle Axe. If anyone else would like to donate a book, please get in touch and I will pass on Morgan's details.
Oh and I had some more ink on Sunday, in the Sunday Times, from Joan Smith. I shall post a quote when I get a chance.

Oh I always arrive too late for the competitions :)
I love the Fijian donate a book idea - I came to this post via Rachael King's blog and see she has sent her own book plus childrens books. I don't know if I have anything suitable, although I guess we're talking 15 and 16 year olds here are we? I was reading everything at that stage.
Could you email me Morgan's details Roger: to mhubbard@ihug.co.nz.
