Birthdays Happen | Herbert Kavet

Hey all, It's a week before my birthday. Next saturday I turn a few decades +2. And for the most part I don't really celebrate. It's just too close to Christmas and everyone is busy and I like to take time picking out the perfect thing for everyone, so I keep that up by doing a give away each year, and this year is no different.

This year to enter my #BirthdayBash you just need to help me get #WingsOfEbony on library shelves. ⬇

LibrarianRyan How do you do this? Place a request for the book/eBook/audiobook at your library. If it is not in your library's catalog yet, ask them to purchase it in your preferred format. Even if you don't belong to local library, you can still participate by calling the library closest to you.

Then supply me the name and city of the library. If you asked them to purchase the can you please tell me how (phone call, automated system, etc).

That's it! ⬇

LibrarianRyan So What will you win?

1. A Preorder copy of Wings of Ebony by J. Elle.
2. Any item off your wishlist (within reason, I do have a budget)

This is open INTERNATIONAL as long as book depository sends to you.

PLUS! if you are in the US, the winner will get to take a deep dive into my galleys (arcs) and choose up to 3 for yourself.

Plus knowing me, I'll throw some other things in as well:

Thank you for helping me celebrate!

LibrarianRyan BTW @trashcanman this tag is to keep you from asking in the middle of July when my birthday is since you do it every year 3y

BookmarkTavern Happy birthday in a week! I‘ll definitely be requesting it tomorrow! 3y
Come-read-with-me Have a great birthday!! 3y
Cinfhen I‘m still rejoicing from winning your FABULOUS THOUGHTFUL BIRTHDAY BASH GIVEAWAY 2 years ago 🎈🎊🎈🎊🎈 3y
julesG This is very generous of you. I'd love to participate, I just fear this book is too "special/specific" to even be considered for my local library. I'm giving it a try anyway. ? 3y
LibrarianRyan @julesG Certainly you can always try. I know my library will never carry it (we are not a fiction library and it's not an illinois library), but I tried anyway. 😁 3y
julesG Already got a denial email - that is, my son got one, I used his account. Grmpf. If it was a Grisham, or Rowling, or Agatha Christie.... 😔😬 3y
LibrarianRyan @julesG I get it. That‘s okay. I just need the name of the library and since your overseas, the mailing address would be lovely. But if not I can try to find it. 3y
LibrarianRyan @julesG plus, right now you are officially the only person entered. 3y
LibrarianRyan @julesG you are awesome. Thank you. 3y
meganthebookishgirl HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! And thank you for the giveaway! I just asked my library in Edinburgh, UK to purchase Wings of Ebony and would love to be entered :) 3y
LibrarianRyan @meganthebookishgirl Yeah, entry 2. Can you give me the name, and possibly the address? You are entered 3y
night_shift 😱 wow, only two folks have entered?! I found Wings of Ebony at my library (as an ebook, but appears they also have a physical copy or two?) and put it on hold! I'm not super surprised Multnomah county (Portland, OR) has it.. They're usually super up on new/diverse books. 3y
LibrarianRyan @UnidragonFrag well you make 3. Ill post a reminder later today.

I have not had much participation in things this year. I think it is because I see so many new people. I have to go hunt for old timers. It's odd.

meganthebookishgirl @LibrarianRyan Of course! It is Central Library on George IV Bridge :) 3y
night_shift That's a bummer :( I know for me this year has just been the worst and I dipped in and out of here a lot. I think I entered like maybe 2-3 things through here all year. Maybe similar for lots? 3y
LibrarianRyan @UnidragonFrag very possibly. I have not been as active as before either, so I get it. 3y
night_shift Well, here's hoping to a better 2021 for reading and such. :/ also, early happy birthday! Horray for December babies 👍 3y
MeganAnn I just asked my library to purchase Wings of Ebony via the online form. It‘s the tagged library in Fargo, ND. Thanks for the reminder post with the preorder info... it reminded me to do this! 3y
LibrarianRyan @MeganAnn Yeahh. Entry 4 3y

Hey all, thought I would try something new and joined a street team. I am really looking forward to this #ownvoices book. I don‘t think Black fantasy/sci-fi is promoted enough. So I‘m promoting. It has an amazing cover. And the story sounds amazing.

It‘s out in February.

Chrissyreadit What is a street team? 4y
LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit it‘s more common to indie and small publishers but it‘s volunteers who help promote a book or an author to get the word out. A street marketing team if you will. 4y
