COMP CLOSED: ‘Best Wishes’ by Richard Glover

Looking for a funny and sincere read? We’ve got you covered. This week’s giveaway will make you laugh but also ask big and small questions about how to improve our world. We have three copies of Best Wishes by Richard Glover to give away. Here’s the blurb:

Do you hate noisy restaurants, pre-ripped jeans and pedestrians who walk five abreast?

Do you also have a problem with plastic-wrapped fruit, climate-change deniers and take-away sandwiches priced at $14.95?

And, most of all, do you think the world would be a better place if people got back their sense of humour?

Here's proof you are not alone. Heartfelt and hilarious, serious but sly, Best Wishes is the encyclopedia of ‘can do better'. It's a plea for a better world – one wish at a time.

If you’d like to win a copy, simply tell us about one thing that would make the world a better place and why (in ONE sentence). Our favourite three entries will win a copy!

Entries close midday (Syd/Melb time) Monday 23 October.

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNERS WILL BE CONTACTED BY EMAIL AND ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
