Are you on Twitter? If so, then you may know that Book End Babes has a Twitter account where we tweet about the latest news and events and share atta-babes and lit love. If you’d like to start an account to get in on the action, go to www.twitter.com. It’s free to sign up. You just pick a username and password and you can start tweetin’.

To participate in the Tweet Chat, the easiest way to participate is to go to www.tweetchat.com and sign in, then add the hashtag #bebabes. It’s a way for people to follow one stream of conversation. It automatically adds that hashtag behind every post you do so it saves time. Simply ask questions and you can respond to @replies. You’ll get the hang of it after a bit.

Each month we do a Wine & Book Tweetchat to honor one or more of our Top Pick authors of the month. In October we were fortunate to have two agree to join us for our wine & book chat so we’ve got a DOUBLE FEATURE on our hands!

At 7 p.m. EST, THE RED LEATHER DIARY author Lily Koppel will be in our guest throne. Get to know more about her and her book on her web site so you’ll have good questions to ask her. At the end of the hour, one lucky tweeter will receive this pretty journal!

At 8 p.m. EST, CROSSING WASHINGTON SQUARE author Joanne Rendell will be wearing the tiara. Check out her web site & go to our Top Picks page or click on the books in our right sidebar to find out more about them. Our prize for one lucky participant for this chat will be a set of sparkly Girls Night Out invites for your next gathering!

It so happens that both of these authors are New Yorkers and the setting of their books are in NYC, so at the recommendation of BEbabe Bonnie Kerr, from Chapter 1, our official wine for the chat is BIG YELLOW CAB Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s BYOB (bring your own bottle), so if you don’t have time to explore BIG YELLOW CAB with us, tell us what you’re drinking. (We just hate to drink alone. Sort of.)

We’ll Tweet you later, babes!
