So…we are still working through all the updates on the website. It’s been slow going with all of the life things that have been getting in the way but we swear…it will get done! Can you believe it is July already?? We had a very busy June and are looking forward to what July brings!
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!

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!
AUTHOR EVENTS
We had the opportunity to see some wonderful authors this month! First, we were able to head down to Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville, IL to see Mary Pearson. As much as we love her and her books, we hadn’t ever met Mary before so even though this was the middle of the week, we were going.
Two days later we were headed back down to Anderson’s to see Trish Doller, Emery Lord, Tiffany Schmidt, and A.C. Gaughen. We had a great time seeing all of these authors and ended up getting some books signed that you will see up for giveaway soon so keep an eye out!
REAL BOOK CHALLENGE
We are doing the Real Book Challenge for 2015 & we hope you will join us! Check out what it is all about below and don’t forget to join the 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).

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!
