January Month In Review

In case you missed anything this past month, here is the recap for January. It has been super cold here in Wisconsin so of course that means we just have another excuse to read more…right?

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).

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.

Self-publishing. Love it? Hate it? Why?

Cover Love

Love Triangles

Ebooks vs. Physical Copies – What is your preference and why?

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.

January’s readalong was The Beyond Series by Kit Rocha. These are some of our favorite books and we had three days (3 DAYS!!) of the O’Kane’s. Check out the post for more details.

EVENTS

Boswell Book Company had Patrick Ness in this month to discuss his new book The Crane Wife. Despite the cold, Jaime and I decided to go. Patrick Ness is entertaining and we were happy we got to go. If you haven’t read anything of his, definitely check his books out. I myself am really looking forward to reading my copy of More Than This.
