Monthly Wrap Up – July

August 1, 2016 by Erin Leave a Comment

Monthly  Wrap Up – July

July is officially over and am pretty excited about all the things that are coming up for August.  First…it’s our birthday month so that means gifts for all of you!  Second, we have some pretty spectacular author events coming up this month that I absolutely can’t wait to attend.

Fun with our Blogger Besties – Swoony Boys Podcast!
WHADDA YA KNOW WEDNESDAY

You guys!! Please consider joining us for our YA trivia night!  We started this a few months ago and have been having so much fun with it!  Whadda Ya Know Wednesday will take 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!  Please join us and make sure you’re following @Fictionfare and @Swoonyboys to play along!

INSTAGRAM – AUGUST BOOK CHALLENGE

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

AUTHOR TALK
If you haven’t seen this new 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.  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!

EVENTS

Anderson’s Bookshop had another fantastic event this month with Victoria Schwab.  I have to say, if you haven’t read This Savage Song by her (or really…anything – Jaime might be a bit obsessed with her Shades of Magic series) go do this now!  I loved listening to her speak and she is an amazing storyteller!

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!
