If you’ve been hanging around my blog much you’ve probably noticed that some of the tour stops I host come from Storytellers on Tour. They’re a great small tour company that got started last year, and in preparation for 2021 they introduced a new perk for hosts: The Ultimate Tour Experience. If you’re a bookish blogger and you think this sounds like fun, consider joining in by hosting SoT tours and hanging out with all of us on their Discord server!
How it works is Storytellers have come up with 3 “bingo cards” full of fun bookish categories. Every time we tour hosts read and review a book on one of the blitzes or longer tours they host we can assign that title to up to 2 of those category tiles. A couple of times a year they ask us to report our title assignments in exchange for entries in a draw for an Amazon gift card, and at the end of the year each card we fill entirely is also extra draw entries.
Wish me luck on the April draw! Here are the ticket squares I’m claiming this round, linked to the posts where I reviewed the books!
