Yes! I know you have a list of books you are meaning to buy and some might even made a checklist on their planner (please tell me, it’s not just me) before the new year comes. So to spice up your cozy bookish nook, let’s add some more pinch of sweetness to your lovely reading life.
I have a list of books here for you today that you wouldn’t resist on pre-ordering. I made a one-stop blog post along with the links and swags that you can get when you pre-order these books. You may call this a Swag Party! Well, we, book lovers want even the singlest bookmark that we can get just to match our favorite book. What more, if we can get more! And by pre-ordering, we can show our support to buzz about these authors’ upcoming releases.
So, if you pre-ordered and haven’t send your proof of purchase, don’t worry because you ain’t late for the party yet! Just follow the details’ links. Or if there’s a book you know that is not in this list, comment below and I’ll add them up.Where The Watermelons Grow by Cindy Baldwin
