Travel the World in Books Readathon Giveaway Winners Announcement!

We had a fantastic first-ever Travel the World in Books Readathon at the beginning of September. We had 41 registered participants, 33 books to giveaway, 8 linkups, 5 author interviews, 4 mini-challenges, and 2 chats! It was a busy couple of weeks but fabulous and fun sharing great book recommendations and encouraging one another to explore our world in books. If you missed any of the posts, be sure to check the schedule that details each post.
