For a few weeks now, I've been putting together a big event and celebration for late December!
Not too long ago, I hit 1000 followers on the blog and that is DEFINITELY one reason to celebrate! As well, I just LOVE the Christmas season, partially because it's also my birthday! I'm a special Christmas baby, so it's pretty much a given that I adore everything Christmas-y!
And I figured, what better way to celebrate than with a special blog event, including guest posts, interviews, top lists, and giveaways?!
By the way, Giselle from Book Nerd made the lovely banner up above as well as the button in my sidebar for this event because she's wonderful that way! :)
Starting today with this kick off post and for the next 3 weeks you can expect new posts from a number of friends, bloggers, and authors along with a number of giveaways. Today I'm including the schedule below so you can have an idea of what to expect, and I'm opening up the main giveaways starting today! You can enter on the Rafflecopter form below. :) There is one large, main giveaway which will take place for the duration of the event, as well as a few smaller and shorter special giveaways which are associated with certain guest posts (for example, an author giving away their book)
December 20 Jodi Lamm (author of Titan Magic) guest post & special giveaway
