You have until December 7th to enter all of the giveaways linked below. Feel free to comment on any of the posts as well. We're all about friendly conversation and there's no such thing as a post too old to comment on!
I hope you have enjoyed the event as much as we have, and on that note we wanted to thank everyone who has made this event possible.
First and foremost, we would like to say a gigantic THANK YOU to all of the authors and publishers who have participated in this event! The Historical Fantasy Jubilee would never have happened without their contributions, enthusiasm, and support. Thank you to:
Random House Children's Books
Sourcebooks Fire
HarperCollins
Greenwillow
Penguin

Tor Teen
St. Martin's Griffin

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Please see the sections Author Interviews and Author Guest Posts below for a full listing of all the amazing participating authors (who we are showing with profuse thanks and lots of fangirly squees!)
We would also like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of YOU!
Whether you commented or quietly read, we totally appreciate your involvement. Extra hugs and thanks to those of you who really threw yourselves into this event by spreading the word through blog posts, tweets, and adding our buttons to your sidebars (feel free to keep them for as long as you'd like!) The Historical Fantasy Jubilee wouldn't have been anywhere near as magical without all of you!
We have one more tiny favor to ask of you. We would truly appreciate some feedback on our event and would be grateful if you filled out our SURVEY so we can make our next event even better (Next event? Yes. Next event!)
We'll even bribe you with an extra entry in one of our Historical Fantasy Jubilee giveaways (you can pick which giveaway)!
I would also like to thank Ruby for asking me to be her co-host. The Historical Fantasy Jubilee has been a number of firsts for me and I am honored to have shared them with Ruby. I can't laud her enough. If you are still unfamiliar with Ruby and her amazing blog (really? Where have you been??) I urge you to check out Ruby's Reads. You really can't go wrong with a princess who loves chocolate and sparkles, has a killer sense of humor, and recognizes the value of shirtless werewolves.
Miss a post in our Historical Fantasy Jubilee? No worries! Here's a complete listing of every fantastic post and giveaway--and it's never too late to join the fun!
