THIS WEEK!
Beginning Wednesday I'm off on the official Breathless Reads tour! (I'm also fighting a super yucky bug, so send health vibes so that I don't spread this plague around)
The authors of Matched, The Eternal Ones, Across the Universe, The Replacement, and Nightshade - that's Ally Condie, Kirsten Miller, Beth Revis, Brenna Yovanoff, and myself will be descending en masse for an event in each of our home cities. I cannot wait - it's sure to be a blast!
Our first stop is tomorrow night:
New York - Wednesday, February 9
Books of Wonder, 6 p.m.
And here's the rest of the schedule:
Minneapolis - Thursday, February 10
Hennepin County Public Library (Ridgedale Branch), 7 p.m.
Denver - Friday, February 11
Tattered Cover (Highlands Ranch), 7 p.m.
Salt Lake City - Saturday, February 12
King's English Bookshop, 2 p.m.
Raleigh - Friday, February 25
Quail Ridge Books and Music, 7 p.m.
I already held a contest to spread the word, but I'm doing it again - this time I have ten, yes 10!!, posters to give away. I don't have an image of the poster yet, but I'll put it up as soon as I have it. Each poster will be signed by all five authors. Just leave your name and a way to contact you in the comments below and you'll be entered (for those who entered the first time, you're already entered in this contest too)! Hope to see you soon!
WOOOO!! I'll be at the Minneapolis one! :)
ReplyDeleteYour right! Those aren't by me :( !! But my sister lives in SLC so I will have to send her for the both of us! I LOVED LOVED LOVED your book I can't stop thinking about it! I just hope that Cal ends up with Ren!! I love Ren!! MY heart will be broken if she stay's with Shay! I can't wait for the next book!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered into this contest. I have posted blogs about book commercials, which included the Breathless Reads ad. I have also tweeted the commercial twice-- since I've seen two different versions. I've also encouraged my work customers to buy the books on this tour, because they all look so awesome. In fact, I think I'm going to go blog about this tour right now. I'll come back and post the link, when I'm done.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered also. I plan to GO to the one in Raleigh! I will spread the Word on my blog, Books Devoured and I will post about it on FB since most of my friends live about 45 minutes or less from Raleigh!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, can't wait!!! I'm excited for New York, please enter me for this contest :)

I am going to post it to Facebook in a note or blog and link everyone to it every day til February. I want them all to know about it and hopefully I can get people to come. I will also post my note on twitter so people can view it. I want to make sure all my friends and friends of friends know about it. I will be posting the link when I am complete. That way you will be able to see it.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great tour. and yes, we would love to persuade your publishers to send you to other cities. Come to Kepler's in the Bay Area. We have a growing teen events program and host some wonderful teen events (ask Lisa Desrochers about her event) . And we would simply LOVE for you all to come. We love and promote all your books, Oh, I'm the events coordinator BTW and can be reached at AngelaM@keplers.com

ReplyDeleteI will post this link in shorten form on my twitter and save it as a favorite and keep reposting and have other people retweet it too. Thanks and lets see how we get this ball rolling. I sure do hope you come to DC.
Nowhere near me, but tweeted my envy and the link: http://twitter.com/#!/jliedl/status/25705421566115840
ReplyDeleteI hope to see you guys in Salt Lake City. I'm sharing about the tour on Twitter (@kirakb2010).
ReplyDeleteIt's a 6 hour drive, but I'm hoping to make the NC signing!!!
ReplyDeleteAnderson's Bookshop in Naperville Illinois alway has a great turnout regardless of the author. I know some of the people that own the store have read these books. It would be wonderful if this tour went there too. =)

ReplyDeleteCiao, Il cinque giro di città è meraviglioso!
(hello, The five city tour is wonderful!)
I actually cheated. I can't speak nor write the Italian language, but it's my heritage and I think it's beautiful. :)
I am sad to say that my city is not on one of your stops this trip, but in time.. I just know it!
So, February is the 'LOVE' month and it's actually my birth month as well.(15th)
I have been spreadin' the love and will keep on keepin' on! :)
Check it.

I am enviously telling all my friends about the breathless tour. I don't live near any of the cities (of course!). So it's a running joke now that if I had enough money, I'd fly out from Maine. I also told my English teacher, who's the only person that truly understands my love for this breed of fiction.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have fun on the tour! =]
UTAH? Holy Crow! I cannot wait.
ReplyDeleteMN! I don't know if I can go yet,so soon too.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea!!! I'm so excited that you and all the other authors are coming to Minneapolis!!!! I'm sad though that I'm going to be skiing in Colorado at that time :( So I'm gettig the word out by sending a big mass email and having my friends go for me!!!
ReplyDeleteI posted the tour in my online book club:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/474289-breathless-reads-tour-ally-condie-andrea-cremer-kirsten-miller-beth
I must say I am bummed you don't hit Tampa. Must go to bookstores in the area and complain. ;)
I wish I was in one of these cities sooo badly! Everyone please attend so that Penguin will add more cities, hint hint ;)
ReplyDeleteShared by posting on NightshadeNexus.com, NightshadeNexus Twitter & FB
I will be at the SLC event! I'll tweet, facebook and blog the event, facebooking and tweeting weekly. I'll also put it on my sidebar. I hope it's successful!
ReplyDeleteI live in Raleigh so I'm THRILLED that this is happening inmy hometown!!!! I have already been sharing the word all over facebook! YYYAAAAYYY!!!
ReplyDeleteaww. i live in California :( oh well, maybe next time! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited you're coming to SLC!!! I've tweeted and facebooked the event. I've also sent FB event invites to all my Utah friends. I hope we have a great turn out for you!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go, but they aren't anywhere near me :( I haven't been spreading the word about the tour since it isn't coming anywhere close, but I've been recommending all of the books to my friends. They were all so good! Thanks for the chance to win them all!
ReplyDeleteCant wait to meet you in SLC!! I'm a big twitter user and I have two FB accounts (one for my friends I know and one for networking I'm debbie Cranberryfries) and both have about 800 + friends so of course I'm sharing the tour with everyone!
ReplyDeleteI am DEFINITELY coming to your stop in NYC!! so excited!
ReplyDeletefrom now til then I'll be periodically posting tweets about it on my twitter page =)
Well since none of those cities are by me. . . I'll be telling my friends and sending them the link to this page so they can check it out. And I'll put it on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteWow, how exciting! I can't make it to any of the events, but I'll definitley be telling all of my friends about it. Hello Facebook and email. It's really great that all 5 of these authors can get together at once. They are sure to have lots of useful information to offer. All of the books were excellent too, so I'd love to win them.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great!!!! I'm going to tell all my friends, since we're all crazy readers, and try and plan a roadtrip out to NY to catch you there.
ReplyDeleteI would love the books! I'm sharing with all my facebook friends!
ReplyDeletemelanie.crady@gmail.com
I'm calling my friends in NC and NY to go see you and not give me any spoilers!!!
ReplyDeleteThese books all look wonderful.
You just MADE my day! TGIF to me! I am about 15 minutes from Quail Ridge and they do such an awesome job with their signings! I will be there FOR SURE! I definitely plan on spreading it word of mouth, through twitter, and most likely by gushing on my blog. ;)
ReplyDeleteMost of these are already on my Goodreads "To Be Read" list!
I posted it on my facebook wall. I had five or six friends re-post it. I would love to go, but you're right, none of those cities are anywhere near me! Maybe I'll talk some friends into a road trip:)
ReplyDeleteI've told all my friends about it, and I posted little blurbs over on my blog. I just wish I could attend, but with school and work...I would have no time. Darn being a grown-up!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the contest. i will promote the Breathless Reads tour on my blog, on Facebook, on Twitter and by word of mouth! Unfortuneately you arent coming to a city near me, but I will let everyone know, so if they do live near one of those cities they can attend!
ReplyDeleteI am loving this and it would be so cool if I wasn't so far away. I will post it on facebook and share it with my firends. The bookclub that I am in is getting ready to start Matched next week so I will be sharing this with them too. Please enter me into the contest! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is going right up on my Facebook wall!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I want to be entered.!
ReplyDeleteim gonna post it all over my facebook, then go to all my friends walls and post it there, and then im gonna go around school telling everyone including teachers, and im gonna get my friends to help me spread the word, i live in a little city so i dont expect you to come here, but i live around big cities where you could come :) flip_flop_caitlin@yahoo.com
I'll tell my friends about the tour!
ReplyDeletewhy no california??? darn...well i'm telling my book reading partner in crime to sign up and i'm tweeting about it! yay!
ReplyDeleteI'll post it on my facebook and my friend's facebook pages :) Wish I could go to one of these cities, but sadly I can't :(
ReplyDeleteohh I so wish you could come to California! -I'm spreading the word about the Breathless Reads tour on Facebook- and I have two cousins in New York who hopefully can visit you on tour in New York! please enter me in the contest! :))) They don't have those books at my library (sadly) so I really want to win them!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEEE I live by Denver! Maybe I'll be able to come to that one! I could tell my friends about this too :))
ReplyDeletesadly the tour isn't coming to where I live :( so I don't get to go :'( but some of my friends live in those places!! so I spread the word on Facebook!! http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000529532232
ReplyDeletesigh... I really wanted to go! :'( but maybe it can be made up for by winning some fabulous books?:) :) :) the funny thing is, I've been dying to read all five!!! :D if I won it would be the most amazing thing ever!!!!!!!!
please oh please oh
PPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE!!!!!
I am stoked! When I first read that you guys were coming to 5 cities I was like crap it won't be anywhere near me. No one comes to my city. But there it was! Salt Lake City! I am totally going and have friends that would definitely join me. I will spread the word on my blog and Facebook!
ReplyDeletedreanda.z@hotmail.com
In my opinion, I would make banners, host a pre-tour party to get people pumped. I would buy magnets and put them on my car, then drive around downtown with a bullhorn. I would rent an airplane, learn how to fly, then attaach a banner that read, "If you're into hot sexy werewolves, or dark thrilling mystery, then come to (city name) @event place. I would then make a custom firework to set off the day before so everyone could see... I would then write a song about it and present it Ryan Secrest, it would then rise to the top of the charts. (not only would it be getting the word out, but I would then be famous too ) Note: these are things I could possibly do, I will not always do this for a book signing. (Although I pretty much did for Scott Westerfeld, but thats another story)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the ninth!
ReplyDeleteI heard this first on Beth's blog, and I immediately linked to it on my own! I love book tours!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks a million,

Nothing near me, but my one of my blog team members lives close to Raleigh so we'll be discussing it on our blog for sure.
ReplyDeletekristinrae023(at)gmail.com
I would tell my friends about it becuase they're almost as much of a bookqorm as i am!
ReplyDeletei can't wait for the tour and i'll have to get my parents to drive my to NY
Wow, I would love to be entered, I sent a message to all my facebook friends (book geeks and non-book geeks) about the tours. I would love to have the hardcover signed copies of the books. I hope I win. :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY please enter me for this contest!!!!! these are essentially all the books ive been wanting to read! i will be telling all my friends at school about this!!! Raleigh NC =]
ReplyDeletehcs36smile@gmail.com
I would LOVE to be entered! Here's how I'm sharing the news to my bookworm friends (I am the King Bookworm of them all, by the way):
ReplyDelete*Facebook--I'm going to post the news as a status update, message my bookworm friends, and post it on their walls. I'm going to keep telling them until I annoy them to death. xD
*Twitter--Mention the news and tell EVERYONE to make it a trending topic. :D
*Email--Email my friends and family in Apple Valley, Minnesota--a suburb near Minneapolis--and tell them and watch out for the Breathless Reads tour. And if they do decide to go, I will sit here in envy and force them to take pictures of you guys. :D
*Blog--Blog, blog, blog, blog, blog, about the tour and the books.
*Text message--message my bookworm friends EVERYDAY telling them the news.
*Skype--I have a friend who lives in Norway and she's a complete bookworm like me. Her friends there are also bookworms, and I will tell them about these books. :D I also have family in the Philippines. I'm telling them about this tour and the books, too. :D
*Sketches--I'm going to try to sketch out the covers of the books and hang them up outside my locker. That way, students and faculty members who wonder why I put those up can ask me why, and I will gladly tell them.
Thanks a lot! :D
Ooh! I love paranormal books. And these have romance in them. My day would be made if I won. Anyway, I been telling my friends (the ones that actually still read books these days) about the contest, and I just posted the link to this site on Facebook. Thanks for making this contest!
ReplyDeleteP.S. If I don't win, congrats to those that do.
Well the one in Salt Lake City is the closest to me....I will just have to find a way to be there! I share all my books with my friends, whether they like to read or not, because sometimes all it takes is the right book at the right time to make someone into a book lover!
ReplyDeleteWell since there's one in Salt Lake City I am definitely going to go! Thanks for giveaway and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteHonestly? I'm most likely to spam my twitter, Livejournal, Deviantart, and tumblr about the tour, and then spam the people I hang out with about it :<
ReplyDeleteUgh. Come to West Coast Canada. I hate where I live because no one ever comes here :'<
I'll keep my fingers crossed about the contest too~ I'd love to get my hands on these books *o*

ReplyDeleteI made a note on Facebook & tagged all my bookworm friends. I looooove these books & I'd really LOVE to win them :)
ReplyDeleteI would be really honored to win these books. I have been wanting to read them for some time but none of the libraries will buy them. I wish that you were coming to a city around here but maybe next time. I love to read and would be very happy if I got to win these books.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling my friends and people on facebook, and my friends on Goodreads! I love to read and I really hope to win these books.
ReplyDeletejayhawks222@gmail.com
I'll tell people if I get an opportunity to go to the one in Denver, through my tumblr, facebook, and goodreads.
ReplyDeleteHoly Schmoly - look at all these entries!!! Thanks you guys :) I'll be announcing the winner on Tuesday!!
ReplyDeleteI dont know if I still can enter but I've told all of my friends and I've tweeted about it. I've talked about it on my tumblr and on Goodreads(: Please pick me! Reading is one of my favorite things to do and I'd love to win these books. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI will be spreading the news throughout my school- pretty much all of my friends love books as much as I do, and would also love to win this pack, and the school librarian will be spreading the news through teachers and staff. And, of course, I will tell everyone at my church, because I'm such a blabbermouth, especially about books that I like.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books on the list, but hey, why else would you enter a giveaway?
I really hope I win, because I've begged and begged my mother to buy these books for me, all of them, and she won't buy them!
This is just another reason why I want to live in Hennepin county! They have a rockin library!!! I can't make it (serious weather conditions here, this is my third snow day in a row!) but I'll mention it my friends and on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteIt would be lovely so please enter me! I'm in Italy and I can't make to the US to wonderful events such as signings sigh!
