Book Faery: BOTS 2: Winners!

A Note:

6/2/13

I once told myself: IF I am accepted into grad school, this blog would no longer be updated. As it turns out, in April, I received news of my acceptance for the Fall 2013 semester, where I will attain a Master's degree of Science in Nutrition.

Running a blog, as many of you may already know, is a demanding side job once the excitement wears off. And once I fell out of the blogging community's loop (have you SEEN how many blogs there are now? Wow!), it was like the kiss of death. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get into a blogging routine once this happened due to the disconnect I felt from the community.

So I took a break. I struggled with the loss and with missing my blog. And then I realized I didn't have to run Book Faery to still be a book reviewer; I could read my books and post reviews online. I'm still a book review blogger, just not in the traditional sense.

I'll still be online. You can chat with me on Twitter, where I'll be posting links to my reviews and talking books. I'll also be posting links to nutrition articles. And if you'd like to connect with me where I guarantee I will post reviews, just add me as a friend on Goodreads.

So that's all, folks! It's been a fun and amazing journey, and I thank you all for listening to my thoughts about books. I hope we all can keep in touch elsewhere :)

BOTS 2: Winners!

I'm always sad when the Battle of the Sexies comes to a conclusion. That usually means summer's just about over, and the college semester is about to start. I hope you all enjoyed both your summers and this event!

Winners, please be sure to email me (tori.book.faery[at]gmail[dot]com) by Monday, September 12th @ Midnight EST. In the subject of your email, please specify which giveaway(s) winner you are. If you do not contact me by Monday night, I will have to pick a new winner.

For those of you wondering: The Battle of the Sexies 3 (which I promise will feature more YA authors) is tentatively scheduled for May of 2012, so keep an eye out for that and some future events coming this year including: The Crossroads Blog Tour in October, a potential Read-a-thon in November, and an a tentative event similar to the BOTS in December. You won't want to miss all of this!

One last thing: don't forget to leave your opinion. By doing so, you can win a $10 Amazon gift card! That's a pretty easy way to win some money if you ask me :)
