Once upon a time, I hated contemporary books, guys. You know this. I professed my hatred in many a post, and I firmly declared that I was certain no book could ever change my mind. Enter Raw Blue. That singular book opened my eyes to the beauty of a genre that had always escaped me, and the lovely Kirsty Eagar gave us a book that is honest, heartfelt and beautiful in the most tragic and truthful sense of the word.
The lovely Nic from Irresistible Reads (champion of Aussie authors) and Linds from Bibliophile Brouhaha (her personal quest is to have Raw Blue published in the US) are hosting a one-of-a-kind, week-long event featuring reviews, guest posts, giveaways and more to bring Kirsty Eagar's incredible works to light. Here's what you should know:
Kirsty Eagar Appreciation Week: August 29th - September 4th
Where: Irresistible Reads and Bibliophile Brouhaha
Also Features On: Supernatural Snark, The Unread Reader, Inkcrush and right here at I Swim for Oceans
Look Out For: Guest posts from Kirsty (and info on her new book!), reviews and GIVEAWAYS!
Please help us spread the word, and please feel free to join in the fun! Below are some buttons you're more than welcome to take and use - let's share the love for an awesome author!
