Over the past two months I have been keeping this BIG secret from all of you, and now I can finally share it!!!! I planning my first BLOG EVENT!!!!! In the past, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself at other Austen-related blog events hosted by Austenprose, Book Rat, and My Jane Austen Book Club and have always toyed with the idea of hosting my own. My wonderful and supportive husband gave me the push I needed to do it and around two months ago I started planning for AUSTENESQUE EXTRAVAGANZA!!!
What is Austenesque Extravaganza, you ask?
– It is a MONTH-LONG celebration of Austenesque Authors and Novels! (A most appropriate event theme for this blog, isn’t it?)
When will this event take place?
– AUGUST! One month from now!
What will this event be like?
– Hopefully awesome! Each day of the week will have a different theme and event, like a weekly twitter party with several Austenesque authors.
– The main purpose of this event is for readers of Austenesque novels to connect and interact with Austenesque authors and other readers.
– There are around 50 authors participating in this event!
– And an AMAZING AUSTENESQUE GIVEAWAY!
Mark your calendars! We hope to see you at Austenesque Extravaganza!
*The fantastic graphics you will be seeing for Austenesque Extravaganza were created by the wonderfully talented Lady Turner! Thank you!
