Blog Update & Giveaway Winners

This post is pretty important, so please read everything!

First, I apologize for the sporadic blog updates as of late. I have just recently begun my job as an assistant manager at this cupcake shop that opened in my hometown, so weekends are now dedicated entirely to working the front of the store. Weekdays, as a result, are focused more on work assigned in the five classes I am taking in my final semester of undergraduate school...which means, of course, that Book Faery is (once again... surprise, surprise) taking a beating when it comes to getting timely reviews posted on the blog. I am attempting to read books, but it is at an incredibly slower rate than I would prefer.

Not to fear, though! Book Dragon, Binah the Bold, and Amanda have all received review books and will be posting a bit more often. Hilarity will ensue, I'm sure :)

Now on to the giveaway updates:
If you have not done so already--and you're an International blog follower--I urge you to fill out the Sins of the Angels Blog Tour giveaway form. The tour ends on November 12th, and that is the final day in which you can fill out the form. I will then forward all contact information onto Linda, who will choose a winner. You can enter that here.

Also, Jessica Sims just stopped by Book Faery yesterday! If you're a US resident, then you should come and enter to win this awesome--and super fun sounding--book! This giveaway ends on Oct 23rd. Enter here!


And now without further ado, the SINS OF THE ANGELS winner is...

Entry #7 Elaine

And the WOLF AT THE DOOR winner is...

Entry #13 debbie

Like all giveaways, winners have two days to respond to my email. Failure to contact me by Tuesday (10/18) evening results in a new winner being chosen.

Giveaway Winners Announced!

All new Battle of the Sexies winners have been contacted via email. Please check your inbox to make sure that you haven't missed a message from me!


Also, since Rafflecopter is so awesome, I think I will be using this system for giveaways from now on... or at least for the next few giveaways. If you ever have an issue with entering, please be sure to contact me ASAP so that we can resolve this! This includes any qualms you may have with the new giveaway system.

Hiatus over, and giveaway winner!

The blog hiatus is OVER!
And I am so glad it finally is for a number of reasons.

If you're a regular follower here, then you've probably noticed how sporadic my posting schedule has become for the past half a year (or to be more precise, the fall and spring college semesters). During that time, I used to wonder whether I was cut out to be a book review blogger. It's definitely not easy organizing blog posts and keeping up with quality content on a daily basis, that's for sure. I also learned, while organizing events last year, that posting daily and being a full time college student did not work very well together. Couple that with my commitment problems when it comes to weekly or monthly memes and you can see why a few things died over time.

This month off allowed me to take a much needed and refreshing break from blogging (and to a lesser degree, Twitter). It showed me how much I miss the community and the book discussions within. It was also a wonderful opportunity to improve my book reviewing skills, thanks to a journalism class I took this semester. Hopefully you all will notice an improvement in my reviewing quality because of that.

So now that I'm back, what's in store for Book Faery? I've got a few things planned, and a few others being brainstormed, actually. 

First off, since I attended Book Expo America this week, I was able to swipe a few extra copies of some books just for you guys! I thought that a small book giveaway would be a wonderful way to celebrate my spring semester coming to a close. Be sure to check in tomorrow to learn more about this giveaway.

I also managed to take a few pictures of Javits and some authors, so I will include a post with BEA pictures for you all sometime this weekend.

As for June's agenda, there are be a number of reviews (lots of these) and author visits scheduled for the month of June. I've also got a "books for sale" post being strung together as I do a little spring cleaning, and I'm planning on doing a mystery box giveaway soon. Finally, I'm going to be posting a "how to" post that someone requested a while back. It's super late, but hey, I'm sure you all can use it, right? ;)

Stay tuned for some other exciting events. This little book faery is back!
