August is Officially Over!

September 5, 2015 by Erin 3 Comments

I feel like August just flew by.  It is so crazy how fast this summer went and now that we are headed into September we are wondering what happened!  There are some great things on our calendar for the coming months so keep coming back.  In the meantime, below is a wrap up of what happened last month!

Here we go!
We’ve partnered up with our lovely friends Meg & Kassiah over at Swoony Boys Podcast for some awesome features!  We hope you join us for all the conversations and fun!  
WHADDA YA KNOW WEDNESDAY
You guys!! We have been having so much fun with this over the last few months and really hope you will join us in September!  This is something NEW we are starting out and will take place on the 3rd Wednesday of every month!  We love interacting with all of you and we love talking books, book boys, and gushing over our favorite authors. We couldn’t think of a better way to do all of that than by combining all of those things, throwing in some awesome prizes, and having a blast while doing it!  Please join us and make sure you’re following @Fictionfare and @Swoonyboys to play along!

REAL BOOK CHALLENGE
We are still doing the Real Book Challenge for 2015 & we hope you will join us!  Check out what it is all about below and don’t forget to join the challenge! 

Have you gotten used to reading on your Kindle, iPad, Nook, or other reading device? Do you have tons of pretty books filling your bookshelves that are just begging to be read (and maybe sniffed a little too)? Do you have a favorite book or series that you’ve been looking for a reason to reread? All these scenarios, and so many more, are the perfect reason to join the “Real” Book Challenge! Join us in a quest to put down the electronic devices and pick up a physical copy of your favorite book(s).

About Erin

In no particular order, I love books, music, and sarcasm. Traveling is one of my most favorite things to do and there are 3 crazy cats that basically run our house. I sometimes talk about all of these things!
