I’m so sorry for my absence last week. Something unexpected came up, but I’m back now. I’ve decided to make up for it by having a huge week with some great new things. What better way to kick off an exciting week than to offer a great blogfest opportunity where we shout about BOOKS! And even better, I’m teaming up with Ninja Captain Alex!
The Ninjas and Knights are joining forces!
Did I Notice Your Book Blogfest, October 17, 2012
Post about a book you’ve noticed.
You can choose a book that you’ve read, something you saw on a blog or social media site, Goodreads, or a sales website. Anything that caught your eye because of a great cover, blurb or reviews, but DON’T tell the author that their book has been noticed. Instead, shout out on social media sites, and encourage others to do the same, until the author finds his/her book.
Leave a blog comment at Ninja Captain Alex or Ciara Knight’s blog when the author finds their book.
Only two rules:
1)You can’t post about your own book.
2)The book shouldn’t be on the New York Times or USA Today bestseller list.
This is your chance to shout out about a book that might not have been noticed by others.
Let’s blow up the blogosphere with great new reads!

Are there any rules about how old or recent the book should be?

Hi Ciara — I’m spreading the word about this blogfest on my blog post tomorrow (9/27). Sounds like a great way to add some good books to my TBR list.
I just love the idea behind this! It is just so fun and I loved the posts I have seen on your blog that do this. I am hosting a blog tour on my blog that day- so I don’t think I will be able to participate- but I will have so much fun hopping around and checking out all the amazing posts. Brilliant!!!
