🎉 Giveaway Winner 🇫🇷

🖊 Dear Bookstagram,

After a couple of months of catching up from where we’d started back at the end of June.

📦 The Books Glorious Books Giveaway will be starting up again very soon!

📒 However, due to circumstances which were out of my control I had to put a stop on the giveaway and this meant that week four’s winner Mélodie .boredgirlbookclub did not receive her book straight away.

I can’t apologise enough to Mélodie for the delay in receiving her prize and I will ensure that this does not happen again.

I am happy to announce that the book left 🦉🇬🇧 our HQ last Friday and has made it’s way across the channel to Melodie .boredgirlbookclub 🇫🇷!

📝 I did make a note of week five’s winners and will ensure that this will be announced shortly.

I want to again take this opportunity to thank everyone who had entered the giveaway draw in week four (at the end of June) and a massive congratulations to .boredgirlbookclub!

The book giveaway will be starting again very soon and I would like to thank you for continuing to support 🦉 Books Glorious Books and keep your eyes peeled for the giveaway announcements.

🏎 💨 life story 🚙

🖊: Britain sent the real James Bond to spy on Cold War Poland,

📸

📝 “In fiction, James Bond has a knack of landing jobs in exotic locations, pursuing villains to their lairs off the shores of Jamaica or in an ancient castle in Japan.

When the real James Bond set off on a shady diplomatic mission for the British government in the 1960s he had to make do with Warsaw in winter.

A file discovered in the Polish security service archives has hinted at the exploits of a genuine British civil servant operating during the Cold War who shared agent 007’s name and penchant for women, if not his lavish lifestyle.

James Albert Bond was 36 when he was sent to the British embassy in Poland on February 18, 1964, nearly 11 years after Ian Fleming introduced his agent in Casino Royale.”
