Hi everyone! Welcome to day 30 of the Sweet and Sassy Sixteeners feature! I hope that you’ve been able to find some GREAT new 2016 reads throughout this month! That was the goal at least. 😉
But, unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and that means that today is the last day of the Sweet and Sassy Sixteeners feature. Don’t cry- I’m sad too. 🙁 It’s been an amazing month and I am so happy that I was able to share it with some of my author friends!
I’m going to link up all of the #SS16ers posts down below. But wait- before you check out all of the links, I have to tell you something!
Well…a couple of things.
- Due to popular demand, I WILL be hosting another #SSSchat! When? The time/date is TBA, so stay tuned to my Twitter!
- The SSS16ers feature will be coming back in June 2016! Yes, another month long feature of 2016 authors- this time, featuring authors with releases between June and December of 2016. 🙂
- While today is the last day to enter the grand prize giveaway, most of the authors are hosting individual giveaways to go along with their blog post! They’ll be open for a couple of extra days, so make sure to check them out!
