Monthly Wrap Up – May (Just a bit late…)

In case you missed anything this past month, here is the recap for May. Yes…I know it is a bit late but I blame all the BEA craziness and promise not to let it happen again.

Here we go!

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).

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.

NEW FEATURE – What’s coming up this month

We wanted to do a monthly feature telling you about all the books we are excited about for the coming month so guess what – we started it this month! Check out our June post by clicking on the image below so you can add the books on our list to your TBR list…if they aren’t there already!

It’s All About The Authors

EVENTS

We had the opportunity to meet some great authors this month and definitely encourage you to check out their books if you haven’t already!

Dark Days Tour – Kiera Cass, Kimberly Derting, Kelley Armstrong, and Danielle Page were all at Anderson’s this month so we made the trek down to meet them and get some books signed. If you haven’t checked out their books yet, definitely do it. They are all great reads!

BEA – We had a blast again this year with all of the BEA events and hanging out with all the bloggers we know from Twitter, Facebook, and blogging. Watch for our BEA wrap ups (posts and a podcast with the lovely Meg & Kassiah) to hear and read about all the details!

MONTHLY READALONG!

Our May book was Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. We are trying to mix in some classics this year and since this book is one of Meg’s favorites, we decided to start here. We hope you were all able to join in and if not, maybe you will be able to join us for June!

Our readalong for June is already scheduled and we will be reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman. You can check out the post here (and see the lovely trailer for the upcoming movie) but also make sure you join the Facebook group too. That way you can get the updates and reminders as we schedule.
