Hola, Bookworms!
We have come to day three of Armchair BEA and I am SO EXCITED! Today’s topic is… FREE STUFF! Actually, today is the day that Armchair BEA suggested that we hold giveaways on our blogs to thank everyone for being awesome and hanging with us. Yay!

About a month ago, I asked the delightful Bookworms on the Words for Worms Facebook page (which, by the way, if you do not already “like” you can do so HERE) if they’d be interested in participating in a book club hosted by MOI. The response was OVERWHELMING. Y’all want a book club! I live to serve, so I’m pleased to announce the formation of…
Yeah. I couldn’t think of a NAME. So. I’m going to hold a CONTEST! It’s easy to enter. Just leave a comment with suggestions of names for our book club. You can enter as many times as you want- leave anything you pretty little head can come up with. Tell your friends, perhaps they’ll have ideas. I’m partial to terrible puns, cheeky literary references, and pandering to my ego.
I will choose a name from among the reader suggestions. The person who comes up with the winning name will win FABULOUS PRIZES! Should the winner be a US resident, they will receive a box of assorted goodness so glorious that I cannot list it all here (partly because I’ve yet to assemble it.) It will definitely contain a $25 gift card to Amazon, which will be supplemented by do dads and fun things (possibly even… a dingelhopper!) Should the winner be a non US resident they will receive a $25 gift card to Amazon. And that’s it. Because, you guys. SHIPPING. Seriously. Alright. I’ll also throw in a personalized limerick for any potential international winners. (My limericks are legendary. Here’s PROOF.)
I will announce the winner a week from today along with our inaugural book club selection. I hope you’re all as excited as I am! Now, pretty please? Name! That! Book Club!!!!!!
***In the event that I get multiple entries for the same name, I’ll count the earliest time stamped suggestion. I know that it’s 100% plausible that multiple people come up with the same idea independently, but I’ve got to have some rules in place, you know?
On a completely unrelated note, today is the 30th and GOLDEN birthday of my butter churning best friend from a past life, Chrissy of Quirky Chrissy. Stop by her blog today to wish her a happy birthday. I can’t tease her for being old because I already turned 30, but if you’re younger and want to give her crap? I fully support your shenanigans. Happy Birthday, Jelly Bean! XOXO!

What a fun idea!
Reader Rendezvous came to mind or the synonyms for the words book club, Libretto Bludgeon. 🙂
Good Luck.

The Book Drunkards
The Librocubicularists (pinterest says this means a person who reads in bed)

Katieeeee, you’re starting a book club?? This sounds amazing. But I have a question – is it going to be on FB only?
Hmmm… naming ideas… this is going to be tough.
The Book Club of Amazingness
Katie’s Wormy Book Club
Katie and the Worms Book Club (okay actually I really love this one)
I also second these earlier suggestions:
The Wormy McSmartyPants book club
Wordy Worms book club
The Fellowship of the Worms book club
The Book Hook
Words for Worms
I’m breaking radio silence to tell you that the currently nameless book club will take place here on the blog. There will be a giant spoiler warning at the beginning of the post and I’ll pose questions to the crowd so we can talk about the WHOLE book. You can answer them in the comments, or I suppose if I get really tech savvy I could put one of those linky things up for blogger types who can’t be contained within the bounds of traditional comments. Facebook is merely my preferred means of testing the waters :).
Sarah Says Read
Sounds amazing! JUST AS I SUSPECTED.

Rick Wiedeman
Read White & Black: The Penguins Book Club.

The South Pole Dance? Oh, right. Books.
Rick Wiedeman
SPINECRACKERS. Because you do that when you open a book. And it sounds badass.

We go so hard. We lose control.
Cause when I read I know I go hard. 😉

“Dude, we gotta book!” Cause you know, Hurley says that when they need to run from the smoke monster but it could still totally mean, “Dude, we’ve got a new book….” each month. Plus, I like Thesaurus Shrugged, Web Worms and Fellowship of the Worms. But I would love to scroll through my news feed each month and see “Dude, we gotta book…”

Hahah, okay, I was going to try to think of a name, but everyone else has come up with so many amazing names that I am just going to slow-clap over here.
(Also, I googled “worm” and a strangely adorable graphic came up. Not a real picture of a worm. It was a cartoon worm. Don’t infantilize us, Google! We can handle an image of a real worm!)
Words for Worms
Kudos on the slow clap- so many awesome names to choose from! And you had me busting a gut over google and their worm cartoons. They have it in for us, you know!
BookAttict
Worm Food.
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

Book Worms Read for Worms. I know…you can’t stand the awesomeness 😉
Dana
I meant Book Worms Read for BOOKS. Great day, I can’t type!
Diamond Nazaneen
We Breathe Books! Hmm…maybe that would be too redundant saying we breathe books book club?
Ok so here’s another – In the Company of Books – ah I did it again! It seems it’s hard for me go choose a name that doesn’t end in “books”!
:p good luck!
Diamond Nazaneen
Oh wow, someone already thought of We Breathe Books!? No way!!
Ok. So I stick by my second one then 🙂
