Announcements

Hello everyone! It has been a busy week for me so I haven't been able to post everything, so I'm doing a quick post with a few announcements.

First, I'm going to tell you that me and Bree from The Magic Attic are hosting an October blog hop called Once Upon A Blog Hop

(Thanks for the beautiful button, Bree)

Once a week during the month of October we will feature a different genre.

Week one: Fantasy (Paranormal/Supernatural included)
Week two: Steampunk
Week three: Contemporary (Romance, Edgy, etc)
Week four: Dystopia (Post apocalypse included)

There will be giveaways and we will be asking you questions about the genre and it will all be a bunch of fun, so make sure that you stay tuned for that!

Also, I am going to be taking part of some book tours, so here are the dates:

October 10: Flames of Surrender by Rhiannon Paille (I think I spelled that right!)

October 21: Blood's Voice by Aine Massie

October 23: Savor by Megan Duncan

November 5: Blood Bound by Aine Massie

So make sure you come back on those dates!

*If I forgot you, email me at gabbicalabrese@hotmail.com and let me know!

Something else I wanted to announce is that EVERYONE should head over to Ivy Reads because she is hosting a program that is absolutely fantastic, in my opinion. It is a big sib/little sib program where you fill out an application and you get a blog sibling! If you are a veteran blogger you get to be a big sib, and if you are a novice blogger like me you get to be a little sib! I thought it was a great idea and it definitely deserves some recognition.

Also, don't forget to head over to my new writing blog, WriTEEN Adventures, and if you are a teen that likes to write, fill out the application in the sidebar to become a part of the Team!

And don't miss your chance to WIN A COPY OF VAMPIRE ACADEMY BY RICHELLE MEAD!

For all those teens who like to write!

For those of you who haven't figured it out, I am a teenager. I love to read and write and be just plain awesome! But see, I have a blog dedicated to reading, and my whole life is dedicated to being awesome. The only thing missing is a writing blog....right?

WRONG!

I've started a new blog called WriTEEN Adventures and it is dedicated to the craziness of trying to write a book as a teen. However, unlike my other two hobbies, others can take part and help me with this! (Nobody can take part of my awesomeness, and nobody can help me with my reading...because I don't need it.) On this new fancy blog of mine, I am calling for all teens who love to write! I'm calling it the WriTEEN Team. I'm looking for others who want to share their writing life with others. What they're good at, what they're bad at, they're accomplishments, revelations as to why they love writing so much, etc.

If you'd like to be part of the team, all you have to do is GO TO THE BLOG and look in the sidebar for the link of the application. It's only a few questions and it's super quick. Just fill it out and I'll get back to you.

WriTEEN Adventures is a great way fro teens to share what they love and bond with others who love it! It's also a great way to receive feedback and opinions and just have FUN!

I'm not going to be kicking off the blog until I have my team together (who knows how long that will take!) but you can always follow the blog for when I DO kick off the blog.

If you have any questions, just email me at gabbicalabrese@hotmail.com

I look forward to seeing your application :D
