Is that a glint of glorious September sunshine I spy as I stick my head up out of the Warren for two minutes? It is! And it’s got some of us all hot and bothered at BookRabbit HQ. We’ve been chatting about our literary heroes and heroines and who’s hot between the sheets pages! We blame that racy lot over at Mills & Boon, they started it with their friends at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, hosting a competition to find out who is the nation’s favourite literary hero?

Fancy winning tickets to see Tony Parsons, Irvine Welsh or Gervase Phinn chat about their latest book? If that is a big, bouncing BookRabbit ‘Yes please!’ Then simply shuffle your little fluffy bunny behind over to our homepage – lovingly displayed below – and click on the big pink button.
All we ask is that you invite a friend to join BookRabbit for your chance to win one of 15 pairs of tickets to the Henley Literary Festival, and you could be sitting just feet away, gazing open-mouthed in awe at any one of these three cracking authors.

Well, come forward to receive your BookRabbit ‘What were you thinking?!’ Gong… Quirk Books. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters does however look far more entertaining than The Lost Symbol so we do see where you got your confidence from.

I know, I know… Quentin Tarantino will be on the blower begging for the rights to my book-to-movie title ‘4 killer features and some cupcakes.’ Anyway, until I get the call, the scoop this week at HQ is that Brett has seriously found his mojo and is on fire with his fixes. New features to razzle dazzle you include:
New user cloud – if you’re new to the site and fancy your name up in lights, then get busy. The more you do on the site – write reviews, post discussions, add bookshelves – the BIGGER your name gets on the homepage. Ego-a-go-go!
