Back 2 School Book Bonanza

Book Bonanza Banner


Earlier this week I found myself faced with a problem while scheduling author spotlights for the rest of the year. I had more authors available for author spotlights and interviews than I had dates. It's one of those good problems! So as I prayed while studying my calendar, I had an idea. A Back to School Book Bonanza. You know, get the kids back to school, get back into a normal routine and celebrate with some great fiction to read. It sounds heavenly to me!

I thought two, maybe three weeks for the Book Bonanza. Wrong. When I finished scheduling yesterday, I had EIGHT weeks full of author spotlights and interviews and book giveaways. Eight whole weeks! With 22 authors! Wowzers!

Needless to say, I've been a busy bee and I'm now ready for take-off! If you'd like a button for your blog, please help yourself to it!

To be entered in a book giveaway here at Patterings, leave a comment and check back on the following Sunday or Wednesday to see if you've won. Those will be our two winner announcement days. Each book giveaway will be open for those with U.S. addresses, for five days. If you want to guarantee that you're notified if you win, then leave your email address in the comment, otherwise, you can just check back and email me through the button in my sidebar. You can enter twice for each author--once for each post you leave a comment on. Two comments on the same post will only count once, but a comment on the Meet the author post and a comment of the interview with the author post will give you two entries. *grin* Clear as mud?

As I hear back from others who run author interviews and book giveaways on their blogs, I'll be adding their links and possibly their line-up. Stay tuned!

  2. Sounds great Patty! I want to take part...but I live in Canada. Could I give you my parent's US address if I win? Please? I promise to be really good! :)

  3. Yes, Stina, that's fine! :-) If you win just use your parent's Stateside address. :-)

    Occasionally an author will send a book overseas--out of the US, but it gets pricey and it really adds up for them. That's why I included that--but I'll leave it up to the individual author.
