February Month In Review

March 1, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

In case you missed anything this past month, here is the recap for February. Check out what has been happening!

We have some great new stuff going on this month.  We’ve partnered up with our lovely friends over at Swoony Boys Podcast for some new features!  We hope you join us for all the conversations and fun!  


REAL BOOK 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).

2014 Real Book Challenge



SPOTLIGHT SUNDAY

Our new feature, hosted by us and Swoony Boys Podcast(Kassiah & Meg), is called Spotlight Sunday and it’s about ALL things bookish.

Memes – All That Or Just Filler?
What Happens When There Is A Major Disagreement Over Books?
Deciding What To Read Next

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

This is a way for us to highlight books that are older that maybe don’t get as much recognition now because they have been out for a while.  Books that we read and loved or books that have been on our To Be Read lists for ages, but we just haven’t gotten around to them yet.

EVENTS
Jaime and I took a short roadtrip to Beloit this month to meet Robin York (AKA Ruthie Knox).  You all know how much we love her books and she is lovely!  We got our copies of Deeper signed and it was so great to get the opportunity to sit down and chat with her.  



This month we participated in the Better Off Friends Blog Tour Stop.  We also had the opportunity to meet Elizabeth Eulberg when she did a reading at Boswell Book Company in Milwaukee.  She was super funny, had some great stories and was just an overall nice person.  Definitely check out her new book and if you’re curious, scroll down to the reviews or giveaways section and check out Jaime’s review.

MONTHLY READALONG!

Our March book is Sam Cruz’s Infallible Guide to Getting Girls by Tellulah Darling!  We absolutely love this book and can’t wait for everyone to read it and be introduced to Sam!  Join us on March 12th and 13th!
