Need an abundance of love? Or maybe a little joy in your life?
Well, I am here to announce the epic-est love fest event ever—the 2016 Love-A-Thon, previously known as the Book Blogger Love-A-Thon—is now open for sign-ups! Love-A-Thons are always my favorite time of the year because I get to shower my favorite people with so much love. (Though, they deserve love all the time.)
With my lovely hosts—Alexa of Alexa Loves Books, Hazel of Stay Bookish, & Mel of The Daily Prophecy, we’ve got plenty of fun things in store that will challenge your creativity and foster positivity and friendship in the book communities – on blogs, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. I hope that you’re ready to get in on sharing the love with us this year, whether you’re an event veteran or newbie! <3
The Love-a-Thon is an event dedicated to spreading positivity and love. It’s time dedicated to visiting other bloggers/Instagrammers/BookTubers, leaving a comment or two, making new friends and fostering positivity among the members of our amazing community. As in the previous years, the event will include mini challenges, Twitter chats and giveaways galore! The full schedule will be sent to you when you’ve signed up, so you can start preparing your posts.
We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone participate in sharing love, encouragement and inspiration all over the bookish communities on the blogosphere, Instagram and YouTube! And, of course, we hope everyone will have fun. If you’re interested in participating, please fill in the sign-up form below. Once that’s done, you can consider yourself an official #LoveAThon participant!
