#BOOKWORM BOX FULL#

What: Author Takeover (aka live Facebook video) I was so honored to be a part of this, and I’d like to officially invite you to an event this Saturday! The Bookworm Box is a non-profit subscription service founded by superstar author Colleen Hoover where each month different books and bookish goodies are sent to subscribers, and 100% of proceeds benefit various charities. ICYMI, my debut, ADORKABLE, was included in the Young Adult Bookworm Box for November. I hope you’re having a great week and are done Christmas shopping (unlike yours truly lol). I hope you’re all well and having a great time leading up to the holidays! I’ll try to do another post before Christmas, but until then, stay awesome :).Ĭategories: Adorkable, author takeover, fun, giveaway, Romance, The Bookworm Box, YA Their mission to use something we all love (books) to give back to charity is amazing. The Bookworm Box and the people there are so wonderful. *****Okay, if you skipped all that please start again here lol.***** On a positive note, my book covers looked awesome–but I forgot to mention Stephanie Mooney, the cover designer, who deserves so much credit and love for her incredible talent!!! Stephanie, you’re awesome! Forgot to say ANY of them, and I love ALL of them and even more authors! Ward (warning: not suitable for younger readers!). Thank you anyway, Mom! I love you!!! And thank you to my students who tuned in it was such an awesome surprise to see you girls there! And to any of you who watched, thank you so much! I apologize for the awkwardness lol.Īlso, I forgot to mention several of my favorite authors: Rainbow Rowell (I can’t believe I didn’t say her!), Katie McGarry, Tammara Webber, Abbi Glines, Gail Carriger, Tahereh Mafi, Julia Quinn!!!, Jane Austen (though my love of Austen really comes from the movies, especially the BBC version of P&P *sigh*), Elizabeth Gaskell, Elizabeth Scott, Meg Cabot, Courtney Milan and on the urban fantasy side: Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, J.R. My mom (who is awesome) even bought me a tripod to keep the video steady–but I ended up having to hold it in my hand bc…yeah, I’m tech challenged :/.

Well, after freaking out a bit about trying all that then having it be sideways/upside down anyway, guess who had to do a 2nd attempt, ended up recording vertically, trying very hard not to think about how she was broadcasting to everyone that she was a complete newbie? LOL! Oh well, I guess that’s just how it goes. 4) Seriously, make sure you turn the phone sideways first because it’s the sign of a complete newbie if you record vertically (like you’d take a selfie) and end up having a video with those weird lines on the side because FB squares off the video (whatever that means). 3) Use the tool to flip the screen horizontally, so people watching can read the book titles. This was even after I watched several videos on how to: 1) Turn the phone sideways before you start so it’ll be in landscape mode because 2) you can’t turn it after you’ve started a video. Apparently, I was sideways…then upside down. It was fun, but it was also stressful–especially after I botched the first attempt at a live video.
