2017 Love-a-Thon

Our new logo was created by Rachel of Hello, Chelly!
I’m so pleased to be able to announce today that the 2017 Love-a-Thon is happening - and official sign-ups are open today. I’m really excited to be hosting this event again, particularly as I’ve got a great team of co-hosts I’m working with - Cee of The Novel Hermit & Mel of The Daily Prophecy (who you’ll remember from last year), and Kristin of Super Space Chick (who will be joining us for the first time)! We’ve come up with some really fun ideas to challenge you creatively, and to encourage you to develop and strengthen the positive friendships you’ve formed in our online book community. Whether it’s a blog, a Twitter account, an Instagram account or a YouTube channel, we’re so excited to invite you to help spread the love again this year!

The Love-a-Thon is an event dedicated to spreading positivity and love. It’s time dedicated to visiting other bloggers/Instagrammers/BookTubers, leaving a comment or two, making new friends and fostering positivity among the members of our amazing community. As in the previous years, the event will include mini challenges, Twitter chats and giveaways galore! The full schedule will be sent to you when you’ve signed up, so you can start preparing your posts in advance. 

We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone participate in sharing love, encouragement and inspiration all over the bookish communities on the blogosphere, Instagram and YouTube! And, of course, we hope everyone will have fun. If you’re interested in participating, please fill in the sign-up form below. Once that’s done, you can consider yourself an official #LoveAThon participant!
