MOCKINGJAY Tour

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins is the third and final book in The Hunger Games trilogy and if you've read the other books, you DON'T want to miss this. Again, I don't really need to big this up and I'm not going to give a GoodReads link either because I know there are a lt of spoilers on there at the moment.

These are my own UK paperback copies that I'm willing to share with you guys because of how awesome the story is.

UPDATE

Hope you're all enjoying the tours!! I have a couple of things to update you on. Firstly, I've just won a copy of BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS with my gross story of how I can never eat tinned green beans again thanks to a dead baby mouse I found inside a can once. Thank you to Elizabeth Scott for letting me win that! I've been trying to get hold of this book for FOREVER so I'm really happy to have won and any win for me is a win for you guys as I'm putting it in a tour :)

Secondly, I've mislaid GIRL PARTS and have a feeling I've sent it to one of you but at the moment, have no record of it - does anyone have it?

Thanks guys and don't forget to send me your address, especially if you've just signed up for the site.

RAISED BY WOLVES ARTWORK MY ARC Tour

OK, this is a very exciting tour and I'm about to tell you why. Thanks to Quercus Children's books I have been sent two ARC's of Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes to go in a tour. This however is a tour with a difference so let me explain...

Each blogger will be given the opportunity to WRITE in the ARC. And I'm not just talking a message in the front, I'm talking about writing ANYTHING, ANYWHERE and in ANY format. It can be inside the book or you can attach post it notes and postcards. The notes can relate to specific lines in the book, any specific note to Jennifer or something about whatever you're feeling at the time when reading. It doesn't matter what it is. You can circle, underline things, comment in the margin, draw pictures, ANYTHING. Basically, there is no limit to what you can write. Obviously it has to be polite and respectful though, that goes without saying.

The idea is to send two ARC's - one for annotating and one to read incase the annotated one becomes too distracting to read. THEN...and this is the big news... the annotated ARC will be presented to Jennifer at a bloggers party when she comes over to the UK in October. AND YOU COULD BE THERE TO MEET HER!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT! There is no confirmed date as of yet but I will keep you updated.

Quercus have requested that each blogger takes a photograph of the book before and after it leaves them so they can make a document about the book's journey. It will be showcased on the Quercus main blog and reviews will be linked.

So, what do you say guys? Are you in? I sure am! If you're not familiar with the book, check out the GoodReads description here. As always, just leave me a comment with your name and e mailaddress if you want to sign up for this. Also, don't forget to read the rules before participating.

Just to be clear, if you have already read Raised by Wolves YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP to annotate the ARC.

TOUR NOW CLOSED FOR SIGNUPS.

CHANGELING Tour

Thank you to Macmillan for sending me the UK paperback of Changeling by Steve Feasey. This book was released as WERELING in the US. Interestingly, I think that the UK cover is more sci fi looking and would appeal more to boys whereas the US cover is more YA looking and would appeal more to girls. Marketing is a clever thing ;) I've had this on my TBR list for a while though so I'll be interested to read. I've not read a book written by a guy in a long time actually. Changeling is part of a three book series and the other two books will be put in tours when this one has ended. If you're not familiar with the book, check out the GoodReads description here. As always, just leave me a comment with your name and e mail address if you want to sign up for this. Also, don't forget to read the rules before participating.

I've added add a new feature so you can link your reviews to the site. When you've read and reviewed the book, please remember to come back and link your review. Thanks :)

SHADOWLAND Tour

Thank you to Macmillan for sending me the UK paperback of Shadowland by Alyson Noel to put in a tour. This is the third book in The Immortals series. Do not sign up for this unless you have read both Evermore and Blue Moon. These books are also in tours currently which you can access by clicking here. As always, just leave me a comment with your name and e mail address if you want to sign up for this. Also, don't forget to read the rules before participating.

TOUR NOW CLOSED FOR SIGNUPS.

BLUE MOON Tour

Thank you to Macmillan for sending me a copy of the UK paperback of Blue Moon by Alyson Noel to put in a tour. This is the second book in The Immortals series and arguably just as good as the first in my opinion. If you haven't read this yet, make sure you read EVERMORE before you sign up to read this one. Evermore is also in a tour at the moment which you can access by clicking here. As always, just leave me a comment with your name and e mail address if you want to sign up for this. Also, don't forget to read the rules before participating.

EVERMORE Tour

Thank you to Macmillan for sending me a copy of the UK paperback of Evermore by Alyson Noel to put in a tour. I'm not sure if everyone has read this yet but I really enjoyed it! I read it before I started book blogging so really I should go back and review it. If you're not familiar with the book, check out the GoodReads description here. As always, just leave me a comment with your name and e mail address if you want to sign up for this. Also, don't forget to read the rules before participating.

INFINITE DAYS Tour

There's been a lot of buzz on the internet about Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel which is touted as a "refreshing king of vampire novel". That was enough for me and when I found out about the premise, I knew I really wanted to read the book. It's actually been released in the US now but the UK release is not until next month. Thanks to Macmillan publishing, I have a UK ARC ready to go on a tour! If you're not familiar with the book, check out the GoodReads description here. As always, just leave me a comment with your name and e mail address if you want to sign up for this. Also, don't forget to read the rules before participating.

ENTANGLED Tour

I am EXTREMELY proud to announce an exclusive tour for Entangled, the debut novel by UK author Cat Clarke. I've known about this book for some time now and I'm so excited about getting the chance to be one of the first people to read it and to share it with everyone else. Here is the description from GoodReads:

" Grace meets enigmatic Ethan the night she's planning to kill herself. The next morning she wakes up in a strange room with a table, chair, pens and paper. There's nothing to do but write, and as she writes, Grace remembers the things she's tried so hard to forget.

The hazy memories lead Grace into a dark place where friendship, heartbreak and betrayal tangle together.."

Cat has very graciously donated an ARC for this tour although she makes one request. For everyone that reads it, please can you write something in the book (presumably at the front) so when the ARC goes back to Cat at the end of the tour, she can keep it as a memento from us all. I think that's a really sweet idea actually.

If you want to be part of the tour,
as always, just leave me a comment with your name and e mail address. Also, don't forget to read the rules before participating.

I've added add a new feature so you can link your reviews to the site. When you've read and reviewed the book, please remember to come back and link your review. Thanks :)
