Thank you to everyone who participated in the first-ever Book Owl Word Search! Congrats to our winners Theresa S., Deborah D., and Stephanie H.! Watch this space for information about future BOWS activities.
Welcome to the Book Owl Word Search (BOWS)!
What is BOWS?
It’s an interactive Word Search where participants collect words from author’s websites/blogs, learn about awesome books, and enter to win cool prizes like signed books!
How do I participate?
On the first day of the word search around Noon Central Time, participating authors will post on their blogs/websites about their books. Each post will contain a secret word designated in some way, bolded, underlined, larger font, and/or specifically stated as the secret word. At the end of the post there will be a link to the next blog in the sequence. Find the word there and continue to the next author. Once you’ve collected all the secret words, enter them into the Rafflecopter for the appropriate team. Repeat for as many teams as you like.
Do I have to search through all the teams to be entered?
No. You can participate on as many or as few teams as you would like.
Do I need to collect all the words or can I get just some of them for each team?
You will need to get every word for the whole team to be considered for that team’s main prize. But some authors may have individual prizes on their websites/blogs you can enter to win without having to collect all the words.
What are the teams?
What authors will be participating?
You can find all of the participating authors on the Teams page.
