Monthly Wrap Up – January

by Leave a Comment

Happy New Year everyone!  We have had a pretty light January but have some great things coming up.  Make sure you check out

Fun with our Blogger Besties – Swoony Boys Podcast!

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!

EVENTS: ADAM SILVERA – HISTORY IS ALL YOU LEFT ME
We were sooooo happy that Adam came close enough to us for his release tour.  Of course we made the roadtrip down to Anderson’s Bookshop to see him and celebrate the release of his new book, History is All You Left Me.  Seriously, if you haven’t picked this up yet, go now.  This book was fantastic and Adam is one of our favorite people EVER so go read it!!
INSTAGRAM – FEBRUARY BOOK CHALLENGE

We love putting together the monthly Instagram challenge and really hope you will join us for February!  We want to see all your posts so don’t forget to use the hashtag #SwoonyFictionFebruary and feel free to tag @swoonyboys and @jaimearkin when you post your pictures!
