Can you believe it is June already?? Â I find that crazy but that means we are that much closer to summer…and some great things we have coming up! Â Check out what happened with us in May!
Fun with our Blogger Besties – Swoony Boys Podcast!
Alright – I know we have missed this for the last few months but WYAKW is coming back!!
If you don’t know what #WYAKW is…it’s our YA trivia night! We have been having so much fun with it and we hope you will join in!  Whadda Ya Know Wednesday takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of every month…(ok, sometimes it is the 4th one instead)!  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!  We have a new scoring system and if you invite your friends and they play, you have an even better chance of winning so make sure you invite and remind them to join in the fun!  Make sure you’re following @Fictionfare and @Swoonyboys to play along!
EVENTS: Jennifer E. Smith / Jeff Zentner / Julie Buxbaum
We  had an opportunity to visit with all of these authors thanks to Boswell Book Company!  It was great to see so many people attend and we always look forward to local events.  If you haven’t had the opportunity to read any of these author’s books, definitely go add them to your list right now.
AUTHOR TALK
If you haven’t seen this feature on the blog (as well as Swoony Boys Podcast) go check them out! Â We have had some great interviews with some amazing authors already posted and continue to schedule more. Â If you want us to interview anyone specific, please let us know in the comments or reach out to us via social media. Â We have so much fun with these and will continue to do them as often as we can! Â This month we got to chat with Tricia Levenseller (Daughter of the Pirate King) and Emily Henry (A Million Junes) and if you haven’t had the chance to listen – go check them out!
