Prize 23
Donated by: @maggieloveshopey
Prize: A hardback copy of Their Brilliant Careers by Ryan O’Neill
"Winner of the coveted third place in maggieloveshopey’s top books of the 21st century list.

From Goodreads: ""Absurd, original and highly addictive …

In Their Brilliant Careers, Ryan O’Neill has written a hilarious novel in the guise of sixteen biographies of (invented) Australian writers. Meet Rachel Deverall, who discovers the secret female source of the great literature of our time – and pays a terrible price for her discovery. Meet Rand Washington, hugely popular sci-fi author (of Whiteman of Cor) and holder of extreme views on race and gender. Meet Addison Tiller, the master of the bush yarn, “The Chekhov of Coolabah”, who has never travelled outside Sydney.

Their Brilliant Careers is a playful set of stories, linked in many ways, which together form a memorable whole. It is a wonderful comic tapestry of the writing life, and a large-scale parody in which every detail adds to the humour of the overall picture.

Unpredictable and intriguing, Their Brilliant Careers takes Australian writing in a whole new direction""

Prize: I will knit you a hat out of my wool stash
It’ll be a fairly basic beanie hat (I’m afraid) with some ribbing. I’ll need your head measurements. I’ll send a picture of my stash and you can choose what you fancy having a hat knitted with.

Prize: A large loaf of sourdough
It’s a large homemade loaf of sourdough. I am prepared to priority post it in the UK or the winner can pick it up from Bristol

It contains Wheat and naturally occurring yeast. It theoretically could contain any allergen but I do ensure everything is well cleaned up before using it.

Very impressive

Just to add, this will now likely be 9 beers, as i’ve found a suitable box and it seems the postage cost doesnt change much so may as well bulk it out! (Sorry F.L.!)

Prize: A selection of non-alcoholic beers
I will buy several speciality non-alcoholic (like, sub 0.5%) beers and send them to the person that wins the prize. I won’t be back in the UK until December 7th, so it will have to wait until after then. Probably not great for vegans or GF.
