Something Wicked Returns Blog Hop
Today is October 1st and that means it is time for.... Something Wicked Returns Blog hop. What's really cool about this blog hop is it runs for the entire month of October. Last year's hop was a ton of fun and this year the event organizer, Heidi, needed extra help so we thank these four ladies for organizing this blog hop: Heidi@Rainy Day Ramblings, Candace@Candace's Book Blog, Maja@The Nocturnal Library and Ali@My Guilty Obsession.
This is what Reader Girls is spotlighting this month:
Urban Harvest, Tales of the Paranormal in New York City, is an urban fantasy anthology featuring paranormal stories that take place in New York City or one of its five boroughs. That could mean vampires, ghosts, and more! How cool is that? The great thing about Urban Harvest is editor Donna Ansari is giving the proceeds from this ebook to a very deserving charity, City Harvest, an organization which helps to feed those in need.
Our very own Reader Girl, Laurie, has a New Adult/Young Adult story featured in this collection titled "Wished Away." Laurie was recently interviewed on editor Donna Ansari's website (as were all the authors of Urban Harvest). You can find out more about our top Reader Girl here and read an excerpt from her story!
Each week we will be highlighting someone from the anthology. Next week we will run our interview with editor/author Donna Ansari who also has a story in the book. Donna Ansari has also written a vampire series, Vampire in the City. Read more about her books on her Goodreads page.
So what are we offering one lucky reader for the Something Wicked Returns Blog Hop? We will giveaway one eBook copy of Urban Harvest and one $25 gift card to Amazon. Don't forget to visit all the blogs participating in this month-long hop!

New York City--it's home to 8 million people trying to make their way through the day--a crop of humanity seething with hopes and fears, dreams and nightmares. Autumn comes, and nine authors harvest nine tales from this unique setting and people. From stories of everyday life in an otherworldly light to nightmarish tales of human darkness, Urban Harvest has something for everyone.
In keeping with the spirit of harvest, all proceeds from this anthology will go to support City Harvest, an organization that feeds NYC's hungry.

I love reading about alternate realities. The surroundings and the beings in that world are interesting, sometimes scary, sometimes magical. Reading those books will always be an adventure.
