DEAD BEAUTIFUL Tour

I've been sitting on a US ARC of Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon for a long time but I heard a rumour recently that it was going to be released in the UK so this is the right time to send it on a tour. I haven't read it yet but it sounds fantastic and right up my street. Check out the Goodreads description here.

THE LIMIT Tour

The Limit by Kristen Landon is not one I had heard of until the very lovely Asamum brought it to my attention and let me borrow her copy to put into a tour. This is described as a middle grade dystopian novel and I'd certainly give it a read. Check out the Goodreads description here.

THE IRON WITCH Tour

The Iron Witch is the debut novel from UK author Karen Mahoney featuring one of the most beautiful book covers I've seen in a while. I'm actually halfway through reading this ARC and I'm really enjoying it. It's different from a lot of the books I normally read and I'd like to share it with you guys but you can only have it when I've finished *evil laugh*. In the meantime, you can check out the Goodreads description here. Apparently, you can read the first four chapters right now here.

ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS Tour

Quite possibly the one you've all been waiting for, I present to you Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. This has been creating A LOT of buzz in the blogosphere and I cannot find anyone who has a bad word to say about it. I've wanted to read it for the longest time and now I have a copy. In fact, there is a funny and yet frustrating story behind the acquiring of this book. I had asked for an ARC when I first heard about the book but I heard nothing from the publishers so I assumed I wasn't getting one. MONTHS later, my US friend told me I had some parcels at his house that he'd tossed to the side and forgotten to tell me about. I asked him to open them and one of them happened to be an ARC of Anna and the French Kiss. I squealed in delight as I had wanted to read this book for so long. Now the finished copy is out (it is actually sitting right next to me) and my friend has STILL not sent me the bloody book. Actually, he may have sent it off yesterday if he got his arse into gear. So I'm taking names now and when it finally arrives, I'll send it out. If you've not heard of this book, where on earth have you been?!?! If needed, check out the Goodreads description here.

TRASH Tour

Released in the latter half of 2010, this tour of Trash by Andy Mulligan is for those bloggers who haven't had the chance to read it yet. I have to say that I love the final UK cover :) For more information about the story, check out the Goodreads description here.

HALF BROTHER Tour

First published in the latter half of 2010, Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel is now in hardback. It's an interesting story about a chimp that joins a family but it's so much more than that. If you're interested, check out the Goodreads description here. Thank you to Random House for providing a review copy.

THE BODY FINDER Tour

Another book with some great buzz that I haven't managed to read yet *le sigh* is The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. It's now been released in the UK as a paperback and thanks to Headline Publishing, I have a copy to go on tour. If you're not familiar with the book, check out the Goodreads description here. I think it sounds like excellent reading for a cold, drizzly day.

IMMORTAL BELOVED Tour

No vampires, no werewolves, no angels. This book is about being immortal but I have a feeling that there's more to the story than that. I haven't read it yet but it's on the list! Besides which, I LOVE the cover! Check out the Goodreads description here for more information. Thank you to Hodder Book for providing a review copy.

MY NAME IS MEMORY Tour

Described as an epic love story spanning several lifetimes, My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares is a book I'm definitely interested in reading. It came out in hardback in America and was marketed as an adult book. In the UK, a different hardback cover was used to market it as a YA book and it is just about to be released in paperback. I think this is my favourite cover of them all actually. Out officially on 20th January, thanks to Hodder Books I have a copy to go on a tour. So what do you say, are you interested in reading about an epic love story? Still not sure? Check out the Goodreads description here.

PARANORMALCY Tour

I'm sure that the majority of us will have heard of the buzz surrounding the US release of Paranormalcy back in August 2010. Well, 5 months later it has hit the British shores and Harper Collins are publishing it THIS MONTH. Just in case you're not familiar with the story, check out the Goodreads description here. Also, if you want to see something funny that I did when this book was first released, have a look at this post on my regular blog.

Happy New Year!

I'm a little late with this but Happy New Year to you all! And thank you for making UK Book Tours a success in 2010. Here's hoping to another successful year full of lots of great books! I'm hoping this year will be really exciting, especially as I'm attending BEA (Book Expo America) and hoping to bring lots of goodies home with me :) It's going to cost me an absolute fortune but the experience alone is worth it. Unfortunately, due to the high cost I'm thinking this is a one time only thing so I'd better make it count. I want to try and document the trip on my regular blog Narratively Speaking and I hope you'll take a look as a way of sharing the experience with me.

Anyway, that's in May. In the meantime, we've got some FANTASTIC releases ahead of us so keep your fingers crossed that we can get hold of some of the books. I'm going to work harder to answer your e mails faster and stay on top of things better. 2011 is a year of getting organised for me. I know some tours have gone a bit quiet but now that the festive period is over, normal service can resume. So, I wish you all a Happy New Year and happy reading! x
