It wouldn't be possible without one rather incredible species of human: The Author. This elusive creature is dedicated, determined, and can be found on Twitter, touring bookstores, and spending hours typing away at computers in-between juggling children, jobs, and deadlines. I don’t know about you, but I think they deserve a big fat ‘THANK YOU’. So Sarah from saz101 and I have teamed up to bring you Author Appreciation August (AAA): a month dedicated to showing authors we care and appreciate them.
Kicking off on the 1st of August we’ll be bringing you an entire month of author interviews, guest posts, and opportunities to chip in and write a post about your favorite author and what they mean to you. Excited? It gets better. Take the time to comment, say ‘thank you’ to an author, or spread the word, and some truly amazing publishers will say ‘thanks’ back, with tons of incredible books up for grabs!
Appreciation Posts
Is there an author you really love? Want to say thanks? Write a post talking about your favorite author, share a story about what they mean to you, or just talk about why everyone needs to read this book. Whether you want to focus on an author individually or group a few together in a post; say thanks for a book or a series, it’s up to you!

Linky Love!
Throughout Author Appreciation August there will be Linkys available for you to share your Appreciation posts! Feel free to stop by and post your links so others can come by and read why a certain author or book is so special to you! Also, if you want to spread the love even more why not host a giveaway to celebrate your favorite authors! There is absolutely no pressure at all - you make the rules, set the dates and all that jazz. In a way it’s kind of like a blog hop except a very laid back version!
