Reading Road-Trip: Signups Still Open!

The Reading Road-Trip is a new twist on the classic giveaway hop that I came up with. The hop will be co-hosted on my blog and IceyBooks. HERE is the full introductory post, but I'll give you a short version now... Blogs who sign up will be hosting a giveaway for a particular state or country (it spans ALL of North America). For instance, I will be hosting Connecticut, so my giveaway will either consist of books from authors who live(ed) in CT or books that take place in CT. Sound like fun? We think so!


We opened signups a few weeks ago and immediately got a lot of interest... then it died down. And I think, the main reason is that bloggers are trying to choose the state they live in. But that's not the case. I get that many people wanted a specific state/country, but it is first come, first serve. But I hope you see that there are many interesting spots still left to host! Here are some ideas (by no means required if you chose these places). I haven't read all of these, so if any of the information is incorrect, please let me know. Also, if you have any other books/authors that would fit here, please leave a comment!
