It’s a Party! Are you ready? #BloggersBookFair and @kimmydonn
It’s coming! Oh yes it is. Next week, starting on Thursday, 2/7-2/10 I get to be part of the Bloggers Book Fair. Don’t know what it is? Well, here’s a little background, the theme this year is: ”The World for a Shilling”.
And that came from where? The Great Exhibition of 1851. The Great Exhibition was held in Hyde Park in London, England from May 1st through October 15th. They built a special building called the Crystal Palace to house the enormous event. Countries from around the world brought their goods to be shown including food, textiles, machines and anything you could imagine. At first, the entry fee was very expensive for those days, but once the organizers (Prince Albert, Henry Cole, and countless others-Even Queen Victoria was highly involved) realized that they had made more than enough to cover the costs, they lowered the price down to one shilling. Once they did this, virtually anyone could get in and see the wonders of the world–hence the saying “The World for a Shilling.”
And this means what to you? The approximate value of a shilling compared to today’s USD is about $5, so all books featured will be $5 or less. Which means you get a chance to discover some really fantastic authors in a wide variety of genres!
So don’t miss out on this really cool opportunity. You can go directly to the Blogger Book Fair site HERE!
