Upcoming Wither/Fever Read-Along Event
Recently, Jessie at The Daily Bookmark and I both purchased Wither by Lauren DeStefano, and Jessie suggested that we try to read it at the same time. Then we had the idea to invite other bloggers to participate as well, and to have a gift card giveaway for the participants.
So starting on March 18th, Jessie and I will be hosting the “Catch Wither Fever” read-along event, and we encourage anyone to participate! It’s okay if you’ve already read Wither and/or Fever, or if you haven’t read either. Participants can simply read either Wither or Fever or both, and there will be a few different ways to enter the giveaway. Between March 18th and April 14th (4 weeks), participants can write new reviews of Wither, Fever, or both, OR they can write new discussion posts about the books. Each new post within that time period (review or discussion post) about Wither or Fever will count as an entry to the giveaway. Also, participants can earn an extra entry by posting about the event! Near the end of the four weeks, Jessie and I will both have a post where you can link up all your reviews, discussion posts, and posts about the event, and all you have to do to enter the giveaway is to write one or more of the above and link it up on one of our posts!
We’d really love for anyone and everyone to participate and read along with us! This is the first time for an event of this type for either of us, so it won’t be too complex of an event, but we’re looking forward to reading everyone’s reviews and/or discussion posts! Please let me know in the comments if you’re interested in participating, or if you have any questions. Our first post for the event will go up on March 18th!
EDIT: Check out Jessie’s teaser post about this event – I think she explained it a lot better than I did!

March 12, 2012 at 3:20 pmLOL I thought I'd get to Fever before the 18th and I haven't. Read Wither over the summer and forgot some plot points. I'm going to try to join you!

March 12, 2012 at 4:15 pmSounds like fun! I've been waiting to read Wither until the moment was right, so I guess this must be the right moment!
I look forward to Catching Wither Fever!
