Monthly Wrap Up – Look At Everything That Happened In June!!

Can you believe we are already halfway through 2014!! In case you missed anything from us this past month, here is the recap for June.

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.

NEW FEATURE – What’s coming up this month

We wanted to do a monthly feature telling you about all the books we are excited about for the coming month so guess what – we started it this month! Check out our June post by clicking on the image below so you can add the books on our list to your TBR list…if they aren’t there already!

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!

Fierce Reads Tour – We were so lucky to be given the opportunity to meet with the authors of the Fierce Reads Tour and we can’t thank everyone enough! It was a blast and to be able to spend one on one time with Leigh Bardugo, Jennifer Mathieu, Ava Dellaira, and Emmy Laybourne was AMAZING!! They are all lovely people and on top of that, kick ass authors. If you haven’t read their books yet, definitely check them out as soon as you can!

MONTHLY READALONG!

Our readalong for June was f I Stay by Gayle Forman.

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 first book is Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell and we will be chatting all about it on July 25th! Please join the group and follow us and @SwoonyBoys for more details!
