WinterHaven SnowPeak 4

Welcome to our fourth edition of WinterHaven SnowPeak where we give you a recap of our events, a little sneak peak of what’s to come this month, and what we’re most excited about.

First off, we wanted to thank all of our followers that visited us throughout October for our WinterHaven Hauntings Month. We had a great time hosting spooktacular reviews and ghoulish giveaways. If you didn’t get a chance to see our first ever Author Fright Fest, go HERE to see the lineup of over 50 amazing authors that joined this event. There’s a great giveaway too, so don’t miss out.

Our Sister Blog!!

Second, last month our team ventured to start another blog. YES! We really did! =} This blog is called Waves of Fiction and will feature our adult contemporary, romance, urban fantasy and paranormal reviews. So for our 18 and over crowd, please check out our Summer digs and enter the $25 eBook Giftcard GIVEAWAY we’re hosting for our followers. Here’s our beachside address: http://wavesoffiction.blogspot.com/.

Our One Year Blogaversary is coming!!

Yes, that’s right! On November 4^th, we’ll be celebrating our one year blogaversary for WinterHaven. So much as happened this year… where to begin?!? We recruited two new roomies, hosted a ton of reviews, giveaways and tours, interviewed so many authors and attended some fab book events. But most importantly, we’ve had an awesome time connecting with our followers and blog friends, which has been the best experience ever! It’s been a blast and we plan to keep the snowflakes coming! As many of you know, we continually host giveaways throughout the month to show our appreciation to our followers, so be sure to visit our Giveaways page and enter away!

So on to November and December. We have so much to share!!

Upcoming Blog Tours

This month, we’ll be touring with 132 Minutes as part of the Quintana of Charyn Blog Tour. WinterHaven Books will be spotlighting our review and an INTERNATIONAL giveaway of the third and final book in the Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta. Remember this book was made available to Aussie readers in September 2012, but is not due out in North America until March 2013. So, be sure to visit us on November 4^th for a review and a chance to win the book.

We’ll also be participating in blog tours for Conjure (out today!), Reaping Me Softly, First Light, Undeadly, Luminosity and Dirt. You can get more details about these tours by checking out our side bar and viewing our Blog Tour banners. As you can see, WinterHaven loves to support fellow Blog Tour Hosts in these events, so if you’re scheduling a blog tour and would like us to participate, email us at winterhavenbooks(at)gmail(dot)com with the details, so we can see if a team member can host a stop.

Cupid Cloud Hop Tour

Well, seeing how much fun we’ve been having with blog tours and hops, WinterHaven is planning a Cupid Cloud Hop in February. Bloggers will be receiving an email next month with more details. Bloggers, if you’d like to be included in our email distribution list, email us at winterhavenbooks(at)gmail(dot)com with the Subject Line “Add Me To Your List!!” and we’ll be sure to keep you informed with our Haven Happenings. We’re still ironing out the details for our Cupid Cloud Hop, but we did finish the fun part which is the banner! :]

November and December are going to be awesome months with our giveaways, reviews, cover reveals, tours, WOWs, STSs and much more, so make sure to visit us at WinterHaven throughout the month.
