This is my announcement post letting everyone know that I'm going to be participating in Waterfall Wednesdays, a
Waterfall Read-Along Event every Wednesday from August 31 to September 28! This event is hosted by
Tina's Book Reviews,
Edgy Inspirational Romance,
Irresistible Reads,
Supernatural Snark, and
The Unread Reader. Interested in participating? You should! All you have to do is get a copy of
Waterfall, answer the Read-Along questions posted each week, and then you have a chance to win 1 of 5 giveaways of the complete River of Time Trilogy from the author, Lisa T. Bergren!
I'm super excited to be participating, not only because I've heard nothing but good things about this trilogy from many, many bloggers but also, I love to have book discussions. It's not often that I can find someone in real life who has read the books I've read so that we can discuss them together so this will be a great forum to have a conversation with many bloggers as we read along!
Update on the
Support The Monstrumologist Campaign...
IT WORKED!!!! Simon & Schuster has decided to give the go ahead on the 4th book in The Monstrumologist Series by Rick Yancey after all! I am beyond shocked by this news. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely wanted this to happen and that's why I decided to post about it to show my support for the author, but I was honestly incredibly doubtful it would actually work. I thought S&S had made up their minds and there was no going back. Wow. I don't think I've ever been so thrilled to be so dead wrong!
According to Rick Yancey, who sent Stephanie of
Stephanie Reads, the organizer of this campaign, a note, this is pretty unprecedented. I, myself, can't think of a time when a book publisher has changed their mind after an outpouring of fan support and decided to go ahead with a series after they previously discontinued it. I want to thank everyone who sent S&S a note asking them to reverse their decision and, most of all,
Stephanie Reads for organizing everything! YAY!
OMG! That's so awesome!!!

I'm so glad the campaign worked!
And they say that book bloggers don't sell books. Pffff!
ReplyDeleteSo happy the campaign worked.
Awww yeahhh! That's so awesome! Glad to hear Rick will be able to publish another Monstrumologist book! :) Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteWoo! Thanks for your help with the campaign! You're a huge part of the victory!
ReplyDelete"And they say that book bloggers don't sell books." I know, right?
ReplyDeleteYeah! I was really happy to hear that everyone's efforts paid off. :P Now I feel like I need to read this series!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work by book bloggers! This is real great news, not just because an amazing series is going to be continued but also because it shows how much blogging can change the world :) YAY. Good work, Stephanie and Aylee.

ReplyDeletePS- Glad to have you on the read-a-long...yay!!
That's awesome that S&S decided to reverse their decision.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to love Waterfall, Aylee :) I just want to get my hands on a copy of Torrent, the final book in the trilogy, somehow so I don't have to wait till Sept. 1 to find out how everything is wrapped up.
That is great news! I am going to have to get my hands on this series. :0)
ReplyDeleteThat's so amazing! I always feel like our little voices won't be heard, but not only were we heard, but were were heard quickly! Wonderful. Thank you for your efforts, Aylee :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Waterfall Wednesdays!! I can't wait. I hope you love Waterfall as much as I do!
Yay! Awesome on the Yancey book! Nice work :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I think the Waterfall discussion is going to be really fun. Even better we have the opportunity to win something.
ReplyDeleteAnd, finally, I'm so impressed bloggers had enough pull to change a big publishers mind. That's really quite and accomplishment! :-)
That is so awesome that the publisher actually listened to what readers wanted for a change, rather than just assuming blindly. You guys rock!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your reviews of these books!
Smiles!
