Monthly Wrap-Up – October

You guys!! It is November and I can’t even express how unbelievable I find that to be. The weather has definitely changed over to fall and the best thing about that is it means I can spend time in the house reading. Which I need to because I am still behind on my goal for the year. No matter, I am planning to do something about this and get back up to my goal numbers and I hope you are all on track!

Check out what we were up to for October!

Fun with our Blogger Besties – Swoony Boys Podcast!

WHADDA YA KNOW WEDNESDAY

Just a heads up about #WYAKW for this month – we had some scheduling challenges so we are off this month but expect to be back in November!

Please consider joining us for our YA trivia night! We 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 – NOVEMBER BOOK CHALLENGE

We love putting together the monthly Instagram challenge and really hope you will join us for November! We want to see all your posts so don’t forget to use the hashtag #SwoonyFictionNovember 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

We are so lucky to be within driving distance of Anderson’s Bookshop because they always have so many great author events! Their annual YA Fandom Frenzy was this month and we got to meet some authors we have been so excited to meet. We also got to hang out with some of favorites!

We also finally had a somewhat local event near us! The Wisconsin Book Festival brought Marie Lu to us and of course, between the two of us, we had quite a few books for her to sign.
