Announcement: Got Books? Event
June 28th, 2010 by the1stdaughterWe all love books, right? Well, I’m taking a guess that at least you or someone in your life that you really really love is mad about them the way I am. Well, maybe not that extreme; living on 3 hours of sleep a day due to severe reading addictions are worth seeing a professional over…possibly. Considering that you are here because you love them, then you don’t want to miss this next great book event!
In an effort to spread some bookish love, the fabulous GMR from Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers and myself have put our heads together to come up with Got Books? An annual (and possibly bi-annual) event that takes place over two days, July 23-24, 2010.
See, after participating in the wonderful bi-annual event, BLOGMANIA, both Gina and I decided we wanted something exclusively book. We wanted an event that revolved entirely around everything “bookish”, including the blogs involved. We love books and everything about them and wanted to give them the opportunity to shine. So, for two entire days (as well as many weeks leading up to the event) we will be shinning the spotlight on all things bookish, culminating in a huge giveaway event that currently stands at over 80 participating blogs!
We’ve already started to highlight the blogs and sponsors (including authors and publishers) we’ve got lined up. So make sure to take a look and see what you may have the opportunity to win, and possibly find your newest “favorite” book blog. Not only will there be prizes at the individual blogs we’ll be hosting a big kick-off giveaway on the actual Got Books? site as well!
As for me, I’ve got some incredible giveaways lined up here, I mean truly you do not want to miss it! Got Books? is going to be the Book event you don’t want to miss this year. So, what are you waiting for? Run over to the site now, take a look and if you’re a book blogger…Sign Up!

Oh this sounds extremely cool. I wish I could participate, but I’m going to be out of town.
I wish you great luck with it! I also hope you’ll do another one, so I can participate next time.

That would be fantastic! Hopefully we’ll hold one when you’re in town next time!
Sounds awesome. Unfortunately I will be moving around that time

Thanks! That stinks, and moving isn’t always so fun, but from the sounds of things it should be great for you & Mr. Whimsy. Maybe next time!

You are fabulous! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to get things going!
So, how do you feel about part time book bloggers signing up?
What we were aiming for is a huge online “book celebration”. So, we are looking for sites that review a fair amount of books. I would definitely consider yours! Plus, even if you don’t “participate”, you can always enter the giveaways to win free books!
I guess the reason I hesitate is that most of my book reviewing takes place at Epinions with only some of the books getting reviewing at my blog. (We won’t even get into how bad I’ve been about book reviewing this month at my blog period. I’ve been doing a mad sprint on some other stuff at Epinions when I wasn’t busy with life.)

I think I might have to say to make sure to “participate” in the event by entering the giveaways, blog hopping and just taking in all the great book news. That way you’ll still get some return visitors and you’ll still most likely win some fantastic books!
Just try to keep me from entering to win free books.
Very excited to be a part of this event!!! Can’t wait!
