Ways to Help:
Donate to the Blogger Book Fair via the BBF Donation Fund. To help get the word out about BBF, we would like to place ads on Facebook, Goodreads and other places, but to do, so we need a little help. We'd also like to have some BBF sponsored giveaways, so money donated would also go toward prizes. NO MONEY WILL BE KEPT BY ANY ORGANIZER OR PARTICIPANT.Spread the word! Share the Fair on your social media accounts and show off the Blogger Book Fair logo in your blog's sidebar.
Sounds very interesting, will have a look
ReplyDeleteA book fair! Those words always bring back good memories. ^_^
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.
This sounds like fun, thanks for the heads up on it. I think I might go join :) - so is the theme significant, or is it just a tagline?
