Blogoversary Day 6: Kate Karyus Quinn

It's day six, and the celebration is almost to an end, but don't worry--I have an awesome and creepy excerpt from debut ANOTHER LITTLE PIECE to show you all today, as well as a giveaway for an ARC of ANOTHER LITTLE PIECE and swag! Guys, this swag has like postcards and notebooks and stickers and even those mint sheets you put on your tongue to make your breath better! Okay, I'm getting a bit off topic, so lo and behold, a fabulous excerpt from ANOTHER LITTLE PIECE:

Blogoversary Day 5: T. Michael Martin

Five days down, two days to go. Hey, everybody! Today I have another interview for you guys, this time with the funny and all-around awesome T. Michael Martin, author of the original and intense THE END GAMES! Stick around for this one, you might just learn some valuable tips for surviving the zombie apocalypse. Because it's going to happen people. 

Really.

Remember Florida? The naked man eating people on the highway?

Yeah.

Blogoversary Day 4: Lauren Miller

Aaaaand welcome back to day four of my blogoversary celebration! Again, I really hope you're enjoying the posts with/by these fantastic authors, because I have another incredibly fun one for you all today--by Lauren Miller, author of the debut PARALLEL! Lauren's been awesome enough to share with us quite a few different things--ten random facts about her, five things you should know about PARALLEL, as well as a delightfully cliffhangery excerpt from PARALLEL! I haven't read PARALLEL myself, yet, but I've heard beyond amazing things about it, so I can't wait!

Blogoversary Day 3: Amy Tintera

We're already three days into the celebration! Eee! I hope you're enjoying it so far, and I have a feeling if you are enjoying it, you're going to continue enjoying it, because today I have an interview with debut author Amy Tintera, author of the action-packed and fun REBOOT! Enjoy! 

Blogoversary Day 2: Josin McQuein

Hey! Welcome back to my Blogoversary Celebration! Thanks for coming back. :) Today I am thrilled to feature author Josin McQuein, who has an amazing guest post for us on the thought process of the spine-tingling creatures, the Fades, from her debut novel ARCLIGHT! I've had the pleasure to read both Josin's ARCLIGHT and her novel releasing in October, PREMEDITATED, and I enjoyed them both immensely, and I can't wait for the rest of the world to have to opportunity to read both novels. But until then, without further ado, Josin McQuein's awesome and creepy guest post on her thought process for the Fades!

Blogoversary Day 1: Erin Bowman

WOW. The day is here. I've been planning this celebration for months. And it's starting. Today. Wow. Anyway, hey, everybody! Welcome to day one of my Blogoversary Celebration! In case you couldn't already tell from the big banner thingy, today I am featuring the awesome Erin Bowman, and her equally as awesome debut novel, TAKEN! [Review] Below are some excerpts Erin has picked out for us all today, giving those who haven't had an opportunity to read TAKEN yet to meet the main character, Gray, before actually meeting him, as well as some commentary on the excerpts from Erin and I, where I go on a bit of a tangent--practically reiterating exactly what Erin says in her commentary. ;) I hope you all enjoy it, and now Erin will take the stage!

*** 

When Blythe invited me to be a part of her blogoversary celebration (happy first birthday, Finding Bliss in Books!) we both agreed it might be fun to share (and discuss) some excerpts from TAKEN. Who doesn't like teasers, right? 

The novel is split into four parts, and today, I'll be sharing one mini-excerpt from each. My favorite passages all seem to focus on TAKEN's protagonist, Gray, so consider this your chance to meet him early! (I fear four passages is not a very thorough introduction to a character, but it's the best I can give you until 4/16, when the book officially hits shelves.) :)

The Celebration Begins...

Eeeee! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was beginning to plan my blogoversary with the wonderful Laura at Little Read Riding Hood, and now I can't believe that my blogoversary celebration is starting TOMORROW! EEEE! Okay, some things you should know about this celebration, if you don't know these things already, which, if you follow me on Twitter, you probably already know, and you can probably already guess some of the participating authors. Okay. I'm incoherent right now, as you can tell, but here is the basic gist of the celebration: 

My actual blogoversary is on April 4th. So that means, starting tomorrow, my actual blogoversary is in a week. But, since I like to draw awesome things out as long as possible, I decided to have my entire blogoversary a week long event leading up to my blogoversary--so think of it as something of a birthweek, not a birthday. Anyway, each day leading up to my blogoversary features a different, awesome author whose books are debuting from April to June, and each author has written up an awesome post for the event. 

And there are giveaways. Eight of them. In total, I am giving away about sixteen ARCs, two finished copies, and some swag throughout this event. 

Excited? 

Eee!

I know I am.

EEEEEE! 

I hope you all enjoy this celebration as much as I enjoyed planning it. I've met some awesome authors and have read some awesome books due to this event, and I love it a lot. 

EEEEEEEEEEE!

(Also, I'm now on Blog Lovin', so if you feel like following me there that'd be greatly appreciated.) :)
