THE THRILLS AND CHILLS FESTIVAL IS BACK!
With some changes though…
Last year, I started @thrills_and_chills_fest account. We had admins, author spotlights, bookstagrammer spotlights, games and giveaways, while it was SO MUCH FUN, it was a lot to organize and put together. And with life being probably 10x crazier this year, I decided to tone it down a bit.
So here’s what you can expect:
-a weekly giveaway (I have partnered with some AWESOME small business to bring you some amazing prizes!)
-story templates (including TBR lists, games and more!)
-no separate account! (It will all be housed right here on @thebookishalix under the hashtag #TaCF )
Like last year, the festivities will begin October 1 and will run through Nov. 1. I can’t wait to get things started!
Now on to the book recommendations!
