Book Staging Mini Challenge
Description: You know how real estate agents will stage an apartment to attract potential buyers? Well, that's what you're going to do to a book!
Rules: Take a picture of a book you're reading today, or any book you have lying around. In the picture you should have the book in a setting, or surrounded by items, that represent the book. It can mimic the cover, or represent characters/events/etc from the story. Basically, make us want to read the book based on picture alone.
This must be a picture YOU take and upload. Simply stage the book, and upload a picture to your blog, Twitter or Goodreads account. If you don't have any of these, than you can post your picture on my blog's Facebook page.
Here's a book I've staged just to give you an idea:
This challenge is open to everyone. In the US, the winner will receive a $15.00 Amazon gift card through their email, and International winners can pick a book up to $15.00 through the Book Depository and I'll buy it and ship it to you.
Just comment with your link below!

Here's my submission: Book staging mini-challenge
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Aya of Yop City. I chose a brightly patterned scarf like people wear in the book, a picture of my nephew to represent the baby, and a lip gloss for the beauty contest.
Fun challenge!
Eat, Shoots & Leaves is about punctuation, so my book is staged with editing tools (white out, red pen, editing books, etc.) Here's my twitter link...

ReplyDeleteI kinda had a little too much fun with mine, though now that I think about it, the sad face is probably less likely to make you want to read *snort*
I went with super hot chefs for this :) Mostly because I don't have any car mechanic stuff around LOL

This was fun -- plus I finally got to try the camera on my new phone, so yay! My picture is HERE.
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't have much on hand to stage my current book with, but I did have 1 absolutely perfect item!
ReplyDeleteUntil I Die Staging!
