For Both Reviewers and Authors: 12 Days of Christmas Blog Event!

[Cana Elene (http://placeofreeds.blogspot.com)]

It happens every year. All the gifts have been unwrapped, your Christmas tree is dying, and you are wondering if you will make it past the New Year's eve this year. And lets be honest, it is all exhausting! Well, have no fear, our wrap up for the end of the year is here! Here at Place of Reads, we will be celebrating all the wonderful books we have read, giving away some of those great books that we have enjoyed reading this past year, and getting ready to start fresh with new books, new challenges, and new authors with our 12 Days of Christmas Event. From December 26 through January 6, we will be hosting author interviews, guest blog posts and giveaways. There might even be a little bit of "Christmas Caroling", through a blog hop (this plan is still in the works, so don't hold me to the Christmas Caroling part just yet! :P).

Rules/Registration for Bloggers and Reviewers is in Green.
Authors, please note the Red section!


Calling All Bloggers/Reviewers:

1) You don't have to review a new book, it can be one you have already reviewed or your one of your favorite books. The only thing we would like is that it have Christmas in the book, and it isn't as hard as you would think!

2) You don't have to have a regular blog, this is open for anyone. This will give you a chance to try out blogging. If you have never done a blog before, look at some previous blogs to see about your layout for a book review.

Cana, went to your blog, but couldn't find any additional info on your Christmas event. I just read a book that would be perfect! It takes place over 24 hours from Christmas Eve to Christmas day. Suspense/Thriller. I can hold the review from posting on my blog if you are interested in putting it in your event. Email me (or text, or call) and let me know. :)

Richard, the 12 Days of Christmas page is there...all the way to the right at the top, but it didn't work the first time I clicked it. I went to another page, and then tried clicking 12 days again, and it worked the 2nd time.

thanks for the advice Dale!
