No words.

I have some very exciting news!

Lauren and I have collaborated once again. This time, it was to create a fansite for The Divergent Trilogy! It is called The Factionless (not to be confused with the livejournal community Factionless--which is an amazing resource btw!)

The Factionless

We've been hard at work on it for exactly one month, and are still in the process of adding more content to the site.

Some notable features include:

- The Pit, an online forum for all Divergent fans to, you know, discuss and gush about the series.

-Diverging Designs, your source for fan-related merchandise! (More designs will be added this coming week. Merchandise will be made from different designers--rather than just one--in order to give more variety to the shop. If you'd like to see how they turn out before you buy them, keep checking back as I will be ordering them.)

There are tons of more amazing features the site offers and we'd love for you to stop by and check it out!

YA SISTERS! And BACK TO BOOKS! (All caps intended)

Lauren and I have EXCITING NEWS! First of all, we have a new webseries together called YA SISTERS! We promise the webseries will be full of crazy shenanigans! This week, I went around asking random people in B&N and Target to be in my video about PARANORMALCY (awesome, awesome book). It was quite the experience. It would be an understatement to say I got turned down. LOL. Nonetheless, there is still some fun footage! At first, we wanted to do a podcast-type thing, but then, we ended up with this!

Here is the first episode! Please comment and subsribe! :) Or just comment below this post! Either one will work with us ;)

Our second piece of news is BACK 2 BOOKS. You can find more information on Lauren's page. Feel free to contact either of us if you are interested!

Want to read Mistwood?

Do you want to read Mistwood, but don't have a copy?! At first, I wanted to give my ARC away to one lucky person, but what would be the fun in that? I want to spread the Mistwood love, and this is part 1 of my top secret project #2 (not so secret, actually...)



To be able to participate:

1. Must have been blogging for at least four months

2. Must get delivery confirmation

3. Read it within a week (but 3 days extensions are allowed!)

4. Must review it! (We need to spread the word...)

5. And for bonus imaginary points, put this widget I made on your blog xD




Just give me an e-mail at andanythingbookish@gmail.com! :) If there are too many people, I'll just pick 13 at random...

I Heart Barnholdt

[Major grammar errors, please forgive me...

and yes--the picture above is an example of my lame photography]

I've been working on I Heart Barnholdt for about a month now since early August (if you follow me on Twitter that's what the top secret project is!) At first, I wanted to make a fansite for the lovely author, but I swore off all fansites because there is just too much drama. So I decided just to make it a feature running for a week. In case you don't know, her book, Two Way Street, was the very first I reviewed on this blog as well as the first trailer I made, and I simply LOVED it to death. I've actually just finished re-reading it this weekend because it's just one of those books that you can read over and over again. Plus, I needed some refreshment for a contest. The author is incredibly nice, and I've been wanting to make this a surprise to her, but I know it's a lame one.

This next week, I will be having one post each day dedicated to Lauren Barnholdt. Since IHB is just a week dedicated to Barnholdt love, I was not sure when to have it up, but because of the official release of Devon Delaney Should Totally Know Better, I decided to have it now! Well, it is already in bookstores early and I managed to get it along with many of her other books, but that doesn't really matter!! Enough of my rambling, let's get to the details:

During the whole week, there will be contests, games, random thoughts, reviews, and book talk of the creations of Lauren Barnholdt. The prizes all concern her books so yay! :D I'm spreading my Barnholdt love and becoming broker than broke with all these contests. I really need a job; thank goodness for helping my mom babysit this little boy (who likes to freak me out with his hamster...)

If you have a review of any of her books on your blog or would like to help out, please e-mail me at andanythingbookish@gmail.com so I can link to it next week or talk to you about what you can do to help out on my blog. Or if you want to be featured in a goofy interview of what you thought of her books, please feel free and send me an e-mail. Or if you want to do a short, silly interview contact me also. All help is appreciated. Every feature will be on my blog so keep checking back...even if you think what I'm doing is lame.

*Most of the contests this week will be centered around her books, so those who have read her books will have a better chance in winning. But that doesn't mean other people can't win either. Also, if you haven't reviewed any of her books, but you do it during this week, you will get extra entries!! :D Oh and I'm open to suggestions since I'm a newbie at blogging. Meanwhile until tomorrow, all comments under this post will be entered in one of the four contests of your choice. Details of the contests will be shared tomorrow morning.

There will be many surprises this week so stay tuned! I am really hoping many people will participate in these contests xD I've racked my tiny brain trying to find ideas for this project. Hopefully, it won't be as dead as I think it will be. I am doing this for fun and don't expect anything but your comments & entries so please comment!!
