Utah Book Week Instagram Challenge

Every year we've had fun posting Utah books related pictures to Instagram. This coming week's celebration will be no different. Here's the image complete with prompts that you can share to Instagram and then post each day:

These prompts are meant to be open-ended, so you can use them however you'd like. For example, "people" could be authors, bloggers, or characters. "Last" could be the last Utah book you read, the last book in a series, or the last book you'd want with you on a deserted island. Go forth and be creative! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Announcing Utah Book WEEK 2016!!

For the past few years we've celebrated Utah books, authors and bloggers here during the month of August. This year, we've decided to try something different and condense all the fun down into a week.

And thus, we give you:

UTAH BOOK WEEK

AUGUST 22 to 28

Please join us for Utah bookish themed posts here on this blog, Utah bookish themed posts on participants personal blogs, a Utah book review link up, and hopefully a IRL party. Perhaps we'll add more to the celebration as it arrives, so stay tuned here (and on Twitter @UtahBooks) for the latest info.

Please spread the word and join us! If you plan to participant, write up a little announcement, post it on your blog and then come link up here.
