Monthly Wrap Up

In case you missed anything this past month, here is the recap for March. First, if you follow Jaime or me on Instagram, you may know that we got a new cat. Yes, I know…CRAZY! Anyway, I thought I would include a picture of her (Rigby) so you can all see that she fits right in with us – just see the tongue sticking out.

We have some great new stuff going on this month. 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).

What Books Would You Like To See Made Into a TV Show Or Movie?

Let’s Talk About What Takes You Out Of A Book You’re Reading!

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

This month we sat down with Kristen Simmons who wrote the completed Article 5 Series and she’s so amazing and lovely! If you haven’t listened to the podcast, please make sure you do! I promise laughs and a great conversation!

EVENTS

We have had a busy March regarding local events…and we will never complain about that. We had the opportunity to meet some great authors and definitely encourage you to check out their books!

Lydia Kang was in Oak Creek this month and we were lucky enough to get to spend about 20 minutes chatting before she began. If you haven’t had an opportunity to read her book Control, check it out. It ties science into a dsytopian world and includes a little bit of romance. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Liz Czukas is a local author and she was nice enough to invite us to her launch party for her new book Ask Again Later. It was great to meet her and Liz ended up doing a reading from the book. Again, check out her book – Jaime liked it and I have it on my TBR list!

Ali Novak

Ali is another Wisconsin author and we happened to notice she was going to be signing at our local Barnes and Noble so we decided to attend. We love to support local authors and we can’t wait to dive into her book!

MONTHLY READALONG!

Our March book was Sam Cruz’s Infallible Guide to Getting Girls by Tellulah Darling! We absolutely love this book and were so happy to have those of you who participated, join us!

Sam Cruz's Infallible Guide to Getting Girls

Robyn Schneider’s The Beginning of Everything is a lyrical, witty, and heart-wrenching novel about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.
