A GIF demonstration of the 10 Stages of Realising Booktopia is Giving Away a Year’s Worth of Books this Booktoberfest…
1. Denial
Well that can’t be true, what an embarrassing typo.
2. Contemplation
Maybe it wasn’t a typo?
3. Excitement
OMG it’s true.
4. Rabid Excitement
OMFG IT’S TRUE!
5. Maths
How much is a year’s worth of books?
6. Doubt
I often read more than a book a week. A book could cost $20 so….no. No they couldn’t be giving away that much. It’s probably like $50 a month.
7. Realisation
Ah, yes $50.
A week?
Wait…$50 A WEEK! FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!
8. Doubt Returns
For a prize like that you must have to do something really difficult or buy something expensive to enter. Surely…
9. Acceptance
Wait, you just have to buy any book from their Booktoberfest range? Just one book? And the range is full of expert picks and the best new books out now and pre-orders in the lead up to Christmas? I could buy ONE BOOK and then win a year’s worth of them?
