2.5 Quick Things!

Sep13

Heya, fellow dreamers of the page!

I’ve been kind of terrible about keeping up with bookish news because this summer has been crazy (maybe I’ll have a Book Ishness updates post next month and some reading updates soon?).

But there are two exciting (time-sensitive) bookish things of awesome I want to make sure you hear about! (Unless, of course, you already have, if you’re following my other blog or my social media. XD)

ANYHOO.

1. Silmaril Awards Voting Closing Sept. 13!

Firstly, make sure you get your votes in for your favorite fantasy characters in the SILMARIL AWARDS because voting ends today (Friday the 13th — ooh, ominous — at 11:59 Central). SO HURRY!

Vote HERE and read my post HERE.

(If you have no clue what the Silmaril Awards are, you can check out the website at that first link. XD)

2. Giveaway on my other blog! (Ends Sept. 16)

 

And I’m celebrating my 6 year anniversary of starting a blog, over on my other blog, and giving away copies of Dealing with Dragons and Searching for Dragons (US only) and 4 swag-packs of a handful of misc. fantasy bookmarks etc. (INT).

So go check that out if you haven’t!

You have until Monday night! (Sept. 16, 2019, 11:59 pm Central.)

2.5: I’m not dead

So yes, that’s the news I wanted to share, and otherwise, I’m not dead, I’m (sorta) reading, and I will try to be back soonish with some fun bookish posts again! I’ve been recovering from a crazy summer, what can I say. XD (And obsessively posting on my Bookstagram every day for a few months now, which mayyy be distracting me from blogging. Just a little. :P)

Did you vote? Enter the giveaway? And are you ready for Fall yet? (Please go away, 100 degree Texan summer.) I hope you’re having a bookish end-of-summer! Thanks for reading! 🙂

Introducing Fairy Tale Central!

Apr2

GUYS. I’M SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED. I have something magnificent to share with  you.

There is a new fairy tale site run by some of my favorite people and it is launching this week (it officially launched yesterday!) and I am sooo ecstatic! Fairy tales are basically my FAVORITE thing and just . . . I can’t. This is so glorious.

Read on for more info and then go visit it and bask in the awesomeness!

Once Upon a Time two girls had a dream. A dream of a fairy tale site, an internet library, if you will, for all the fairy tale lovers of the land to gather and converse. To learn, to read, to fangirl/boy, to bask in the goodness that is fairy tales.

As this dream blossomed, the two girls recruited a third. Because, after all, all good fairy tales come in themes of three.

With the third member in place, the girls got to work. The dream began to take shape, until it was no longer just a dream. But something real.

Introducing…

FAIRY TALE CENTRAL

This newly launched site run by Arielle Bailey, Faith White, and Christine Smith, is your source for all things fairy tales.

Every month a single fairy tale will be featured, and posts will include:

  • Reviews for retellings/shows/movies/etc.
  • Essay, origin, and discussion posts on the featured fairy tale
  • Interviews with fairy tale retelling authors
  • Galleries featuring fairy tale artists and artisans
  • And a whole lot more!

The FTC’s goal is to unlock the magic that is fairy tales and build a community of fellow fairy tale enthusiasts. Arielle, Faith, and Christine are thrilled to share this new fairy tale centric space and connect with all you epic fairy tale fans!

You can CLICK HERE to find the site and join the Fairy Ring! (Don’t worry, you won’t be enchanted or cursed.) And, if you want to connect even more, you can find the FTC on:

(If you’re inclined to share about the FTC in those places too, you may or may not be blessed by a fairy godmother. *smile, smile*)

Do tell a friend, or a dragon, or the fairy living in the hollow tree behind your house. All humans and mythological creatures alike are welcome!

Talk to me! Are you a fairy tale fan? Does this site intrigue you? I’M SO EXCITED! Do drop by and give it a visit/follow! 😀 Thanks for reading! ^_^
