The big advent calendar fun starts today! What will you win?

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

One day only

November 28th.

Pick a door

I didn't have an advent calendar as a kid.

I'm not sure they're a thing in the States, or if it was just my family who didn't do it. Did yours? Robyn LOVES an advent calendar. Last year I got her the Inkvent calendar, with a different little bottle of ink each day. I won't need to get her that one for another five years, probably.

It's so much fun to watch her rush downstairs to see what's behind the new door. And we wanted to give readers that fun feeling too! So we're doing a bookish advent calendar!

Head on over to TikTok or Instagram. Each day we'll post a fun, simple question. You answer, and then we'll choose a winner and announce them the next morning on a post.
It's going to be lots of fun, and it gives us a way to connect and get to know each other a little better. In a world where we can feel very alone and separate, we're hoping this brings us all a smile.

Below is a blooper filled video of us telling you all about it. We hope it makes you laugh too.

A little humor and a lot of caffiene make the world a better place.

Fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian, paranormal, and even romance... I'm all about big stories with deep characters you want to get to know.
