Monthly Wrap Up – September

October 10, 2016 by Erin Leave a Comment

It is officially fall! I have to admit I love this time of year – the weather is better around here and there are so many awesome things coming up! It is also a good time to check in on reading goals…I seem to have fallen behind (work has been kicking my butt) but I am motivated to get back on track!  How about you?  

Check out what we were up to for September!

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 – OCTOBER 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 #SwoonyFictionOctober 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!  Check out who we were able to visit this month.

Kristen Simmons (Metaltown)  & Paula Stokes (Vicarious) were both celebrating the release of their new books.  If you haven’t checked them out, make sure you do!

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!
