August Wrap Up – Where Did The Summer Go??

It’s been a busy summer here at Fiction Fare! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the summer and reading a lot of books! In case you missed anything from us this past month, here is the recap for August.

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.

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!

Deborah Harkness

We have been wanting to meet Deborah Harkness for what seems like forever now and when we found out she was going to be at Boswell Book Company, there was no way we were going to miss it. We ended up going to the store early because we wanted to get good seats and of course, we can always manage to wander around a bookstore. Deborah was wonderful and I loved listening to her talk all about Matthew and Diana.

Chloe Neill

Chloe Neill was celebrating the release of the newest book in the Chicagoland Vampires series, Blood Games. I can’t wait to dive into this one but have to say that Chloe was wonderful to listen to she took the time to sign all of the books everyone had with them. If you like paranormal books, definitely check this series out. There are currently nine books in the series out and a few more in queue.

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!

Our next book is going to be announced soon – Make sure you have joined the Goodreads group and Facebook page to find out more! Please join the group and follow us and @SwoonyBoys for more details!
