Can you believe August is here already? I personally am looking forward to September in the hopes that things slow down a bit. I feel like we have been running like crazy which has made for little time to spend on updating the blog but we will get there – I promise! So – here’s what our July was like…check it out!
Here we go!
We’ve partnered up with our lovely friends Meg & Kassiah over at Swoony Boys Podcast for some awesome features! We hope you join us for all the conversations and fun!

You guys!! We have been having so much fun with this over the last few months and really hope you will join us in August! This is something NEW we are starting out and will take place on the 3rd Wednesday of every month! 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!

Have you gotten used to reading on your Kindle, iPad, Nook, or other reading device?

Join us in a quest to put down the electronic devices and pick up a physical copy of your favorite book(s).

So…we’ve retired Flashback Friday for a while. We will still randomly put Flashback Friday books up for everyone to check out but we weren’t getting a lot of participation on this. We hope everyone still checks this out when we post, we just aren’t posting every Friday so it will be a surprise when it comes up!
