Monthly Wrap Up – October

November 11, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

We have officially hit fall in the weather department and all the books that are coming out this fall have us super excited that time appears to be flying!  In case you missed anything from the last month, keep reading!

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).

2014 Real Book Challenge

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.

It’s All About The Authors 

VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB
If you didn’t know, we have switched to a different format for the readalongs.  Instead of a real time readalong, we have moved to a Virtual Book Club.  Check out the post here and please consider joining us! 

We also have a Goodreads Group – you can join by clicking here.  AND…if you want to recommend a book for an upcoming read, please fill out the form.  We would love to hear your thoughts!

I ♥ the Virtual Book Club hosted by Fic Fare and Swoony Boys Podcast

Make sure you have joined the Goodreads group and Facebook page to find out more!  Please join the group and follow us (@erinlee20 & @jaimearkin) and @SwoonyBoys for more details!
