Book Blogger Appreciation Week
September 13 - 17, 2010
September 13 - 17, 2010
In 2008 Amy of My Friend Amy started the Book Blogger Appreciation Week (BBAW) It has grow exponentially since then and I heard at last count that this year over 600 bloggers are participating.
"Book Blogger Appreciation was started in an effort to recognize the hard work and contribution of book bloggers to the promotion and preservation of a literate culture actively engaged in discussing books, authors, and a lifestyle of reading."
Bloggers will be hosting giveaways (some worldwide, some USA only) as well as publishers and authors including: Belle Bridge Books, Chronicle Books, Harper Collins, Penguin, and Sourcebooks to name a few. Each day bloggers will be posting on the following topics:
Monday—First Treasure
We invite you to share with us about a great new book blog you’ve discovered since BBAW last year! If you are new to BBAW or book blogging, share with us the very first book blog you discovered. Tell us why this blog rocks your socks off and why you keep going back for more.
Tuesday—New Treasure—Interview Swap
Post the interview you did with your BBAW Interview Partner.
Wednesday—Unexpected Treasure
We invite you to share with us a book or genre you tried due to the influence of another blogger. What made you cave in to try something new and what was the experience like?
Thursday—Forgotten Treasure
Sure we’ve all read about Freedom and Mockingjay but we likely have a book we wish would get more attention by book bloggers, whether it’s a forgotten classic or under marketed contemporary fiction. This is your chance to tell the community why they should consider reading this book!
Friday—Future Treasures
We’ve been visiting each other and getting to know each other better…now is your chance to share what you enjoyed about BBAW and also what your blogging goals are for the next year!
I will be hosting a couple giveaways on my personal blog My Two Blessings: Monday, a package deal - Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Series books #1-9 and on Wednesday, a Mystery and Suspense bundle consisting of 6 books by authors Allison Brennan, Tess Gerritsen, J.T. Ellison, Jordan Dane, Robert Gregory Browne and John Ramsey Miller. And be sure to check out my interview with Allison of Piling on the Books on Tuesday.
So don't miss out on your chance to win some free books, meet new friends and explore new blogs.
