Hello everyone!
The Swoon Reads Season 13 deadline just closed on Jan 5. You know what that means? It’s read month! So come on and join me in reading some awesome new Swoon books until February 18, 2018.
If you’re unfamiliar with Swoon Reads, it’s a crowd sourced website where YOU (the readers) help select what gets published in real life. The month after every deadline is called “read month”, encouraging the website’s participants to make their voices heard about which books are their favorites.
I’ve been extremely busy with my own projects so I haven’t read any books on Swoon this season (and honestly, I probably won’t be able to *cries*). However, I read through the descriptions/summaries so I’m hoping that’ll be enough to give you some good suggestions on what to pick up!
For your reference, there are 89 books entered in Season 13. The first book of this season is “Locked” (currently on page 9) and the last book is “Olive Juice”. For additional reference the first book entered in Season 12 was “Our Blurry Faces” (currently page 17) if you’re wanting to go back that far (because it is possible that Swoon could select a book from a previous season).
Please keep in mind that these lists are only my opinions and that I in no way, shape, or form affect the decisions of the Swoon staff. Just because your book may/ may not be on my lists doesn’t mean that it will/won’t get selected and noticed! This is only one person’s opinion. I do this just for fun and to promote books I love ^_^
So, without further ado, here we go!
(PS, all listed books and authors are links to their pages on Swoon!)
