Month in Review – September

October 5, 2017 by Erin 1 Comment

It is officially fall and we have a ton of things keeping us busy these days! Check out what we’ve been up to and let us know how things are going in the comments!

Fun with our Blogger Besties – Swoony Boys Podcast!

WHADDA YA KNOW WEDNESDAY

Join us in October for some trivia fun!!

If you don’t know what #WYAKW is…it’s our YA trivia night!  We have been having so much fun with it and we hope you will join in!  Whadda Ya Know Wednesday takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of every month…(ok, sometimes it is the 4th one instead)!  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!  We have a new scoring system and if you invite your friends and they play, you have an even better chance of winning so make sure you invite and remind them to join in the fun!  Make sure you’re following @Fictionfare and @Swoonyboys to play along and invite your friends!

EVENTS
I was super excited when Anderson’s announced they were going to have a signing for Leigh Bardugo’s new Wonder Woman: Warbringer and if you haven’t read it yet…GO NOW!!  I was on my own for this one since Jaime couldn’t make it but I always love getting a chance to see Leigh and of course she is amazing and fantastic so I wasn’t going to miss it!
NOVL LUNCHEON 2017
For the last few years, Liza (@lizawiemer) and Heidi (@YA Bibliophile) have been hosting this event and this year they asked us to co-host and we immediately said yes!  We had so much fun and hope everyone who joined us did too!  Not only is this a good event to connect with other bookish people but in the end, it is something that helps our community as Liza was able to deliver over 500 books to Sojourner Milwaukee!
 AUTHOR TALK
If you haven’t seen this feature on the blog (as well as Swoony Boys Podcast) go check them out!  We have had some great interviews with some amazing authors already posted and continue to schedule more.  We are working on an upcoming schedule and getting the recordings done but if you want us to interview anyone specific, please let us know in the comments or reach out to us via social media.  We have so much fun with these and will continue to do them as often as we can!

New Feature!

We have a new feature on the blog called In the Spotlight!  We have been trying to find a way to spotlight all the bookish stores and products we love and thought this would be a great way to reach those of you not always on Twitter and Instagram.  This month you get to meet Natalie from Alchemy & Ink Candles – Check it out!

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!
