It's June 1st!! Mark Your Calendar for Coastal Magic 2024!

 

It's June 1st -- and in the world of Coastal Magic, that means our #CMCon24 Featured Author listing has been posted, and our full weekend registration for readers is now open!!!

As a Featured Blogger at the 2024 Coastal Magic Convention, I am super excited and can't wait for February to roll around!

Dubbed the Coastal Magic "season" by our reading challenge participants, things stay active for Coastal Magic authors and attendees from June 1st through our weekend together in February. We have author spotlights from our Featured Bloggers. We have an active, engaging Reading Challenge group that showcases our authors and guides readers as they motivate each other to read (and review) at least one book from each author in our lineup. (And win prizes!!) We also have online panel discussions, chats and activities in our Facebook Authors & Attendees group, and so much more!!

This year, our theme focuses on all of the friendships we've made and seen through the years! Our "Book Besties Weekend" will shine a spotlight on our own bookish besties, the best friends in the stories we love, and our authors' writer BFFs!! We're celebrating ALL of it!!

We've also got merch!!!! The first two of our three t-shirt designs are now live. The 2024 Reading Challenge design will be revealed soon, so keep your eyes open for that one. :-) Right now -- we have a collection of items featuring our annual #CMCon24 logo and theme, and our friendship quote design...

Making plans to join us for the 2024 event, February 22-25? You can see all that's included with your registration on our page HERE, or go directly to the EventBrite ticketing page HERE. 

So... reader besties... that's the big news for today.

It's THE.START.OF.ALL.THE.THINGS and I'm super excited for all we have planned. Watch for more info about our evening activities, our #CMCChat online panel schedule, our reading challenge and featured blogger spotlights, and all the other ways you can be involved in Coastal Magic this summer and fall. We'd love to have you with us!!

To kick off this "season" with a win -- in the comments, let us know what your favorite thing about attending author/reader/bookish events is. Meeting new authors? Meeting favorite authors? Catching up with bookish reader friends? Discovering new books for your TBR piles? Traveling to new places?

One commenter will be randomly selected to win a print or digital copy of a book from one of our 2024 Featured Authors. This is open to readers everywhere. Winner will be selected and notified on June 10th. Coastal Magic, not the author, will be providing this prize. Good luck, everyone!!
