Folks, we are thrilled to announce that a winner has been selected from our Natal Day Raffle at Bookmark in Halifax - Helena! On receiving our email of congratulations, Helena sent us SUCH a gorgeous email, in which she said - "Reading, especially local authors, brings me much needed light and joy these days." We couldn't agree more, and are so glad that we've been able to bring a little joy their way.

Many thanks to Bookmark for hosting our Natal Day Raffle, and a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out and participated! When we came to pick up the ballot box we were thrilled to find that it was completely full, every ballot filled out, and that brings us such happiness. To know that folks are out here supporting their local shops and investing in Atlantic books is such a boost, and we are just walking on air about it.

Keep an eye out for the next raffle - you never know what you might win!
