Books That Glow: YA & MG 2013


Bloggers, Readers, Authors–

First off, Happy New Year everybody! We've made it past the end of the world apocalypse, and now are welcomed into 2013! *launch confetti cannons and commence marching band*

Hope you all have had a restful holiday (and didn't stay up too late on New Years ;D) because... it's here!

I (Rabiah) and Richa at City of Books have been talking about an event for the past couple of months. What is this event you ask? Well...


Books That Glow: YA & MG 2013

For those of you who don't know, for the past couple of months we have been working pretty hard at inviting 2013 Authors to participate in this event. We've been contacting authors, reading some of the books for review, getting interview questions ready, creating buttons and banners (which are below, so you could spread the word), coming up with a NAME (which was surprisingly pretty tough!)– it's just been a hullabaloo of a whirlwind. Yeah, I know. I have no idea what I said either. BUT here's the breakdown of what exactly Books That Glow: YA & MG 2013 is about.

WHAT IS IT?

Books That Glow: YA & MG 2013 is a year-long event which runs from January 1, 2013 to December 31st, 2013. Over 100 Young Adult and Middle Grade authors have signed up along with us.

This whole year we have reviews, interviews, guest posts, excerpts, book trailers, the whole enchilada planned for you all! We're spreading the word about 2013 books, whether it be a debut, a sequel, a standalone, a prequel– you name it!

BLOGGERS and READERS, WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Well, throughout the year, we want to open up a whole world of YA and MG for you all, and you, you very lovely fabulous people, can help us spread the word about them! And... we have a whole slew of giveaways. Trust me, it's gonna be fabulous for you all.

WHICH BOOKS ARE FEATURED?

*takes deep breath*


and that's not all! A lot of the covers haven't been released so we have plenty more (believe it or not) that is coming your way :)


EVENT BUTTONS AND BANNERS

Here are some of the amazing buttons and banners we three have created, so post it on your blog or website and help us spread the word!







I'M AN AUTHOR AND I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN UP... IS IT TOO LATE?

No, of course not! As this is a year-long event, we're happy to have you sign up. HERE's the original post which has the sign-up form.

So yay! That's all and hopefully I haven't missed anything. I'll be keeping tabs on all the posts and so you can check that out in the BTG2013 Tab at the page bar, so you don't miss a single thing :D
