Welcome to Bookish Haven Summer Vacation!

 

For those who missed our announcement post last month, Bookish Haven Summer Vacation is an event that I put together along with the ladies from Paranormal Haven.

The Event will run the entire month of June and We'll be celebrating the coming of Summer with guest posts and giveaways from some really great authors.

Not all posts {Here or at Paranormal Haven} will have a giveaway but each author put time into participating so we'd really appreciate you commenting even if there isn't a giveaway involved.

Before we get started, we need to go over the rules and guidelines for the event. Make sure you check Paranormal Haven as well because her rules are slightly different.

1. When entering a giveaway, pay attention to the instructions. They may be different depending upon the giveaway and/or blog you are entering the giveaway on.

2. Also make sure to pay close attention to the shipping on each giveaway. Some are open to US citizens only, others US/Canada and others will be open internationally.

3. You can enter as many event giveaways you want on Paranormal Haven or here on my blog. My Contest Policy applies to all event giveaways hosted on THIS blog. Please read before entering.

4. All giveaways on both blogs end on July 15th and winner’s will be announced on July 20th on the blog that hosted the giveaways. Winner’s will have 3 days to respond to our emails [or message me at larissa@larissaslife.com ] or another winner(s) will be chosen.

Giveaway Alert – Book Lovers Inc. 1st Blogoversary {Author’s Takeover}

I don’t know if you guys know, but I’m one of the founders and a Team member of Book Lovers Inc and This week we started out Blogoversary celebration with an AUTHOR TAKEOVER!

Here's what it’s all about from BLI:

 

What is all this Blogoversary buzz about?

We really thought long and hard about this celebration and we thought perhaps we should reverse the roles for a change. We had a “hard” year and what better way to relax then to give all the work to the authors? Yeah, we thought this was a brilliant idea too. So we tried to reach willing authors with all methods available and luckily we found some willing victims. We were so wrong- it’s not as easy as we thought to be on the receiving end of an interview and some authors really can come up with some HARD tasks but I think we deserved all that. ;)

So the next 13 days will be full of posts from authors for you and you guessed right there will be an extra  giveaway or two. *wink* So stay tuned for those. You can find a list of our schedule in the sidebar and we link to the posts which are already up.

 

 

Check Out The Awesome Giveaway HERE

& Keep an eye out for the daily posts and giveaways!

 

 

Thanks so much for tuning in and I’ll see you soon!
