Booksmugglers review (they gush. I have refrained from commenting because it is rather overwhelming).

Scottish Book Trust - inspiration, work in progress, and Why I Live in Scotland:

if you hunt for it, you CAN find Verity's real name revealed on line (not in this review, despite outward appearances). Her real name isn't really a spoiler. But most people are treating it as one. I LOVE THIS.

Not part of the tour but fun:

Chachic's Book Nook: Nice review with a boatload of interesting yet spoiler free discussion in the comments:

Lovely and emotional review here at By Singing Light:

estara is auctioning a copy of CNV (with author-signed bookplate) in support of Con or Bust: Fans of Color Assistance Project here:

-------------------------------

And Books for Scotland has chosen CNV as their Children's Choice of the Month. They're the ones who called me an "American born Scottish author"!

If you want to order it yourself and don't have an independent bookstore where you can go demand it in person, the Book Depository ships free anywhere in the world.

Set Europe the world ablaze!

And if you want to order via Bookdepository you can reply to this comment with your e-mail in anti-spam format because they sent me a notification thingy where I can send friends an offer for 10% off which is valid until February 29th (one of my friends has already used it to order CNV ^^ for New Zealand). I'm going to send the e-mails out this evening Europe time, if I get any takers.
Alternatively support a worthy cause and bid on the UK paperback for con-or-bust (http://con-or-bust.livejournal.com/105641.html).

Thanks for all the amazing pubicity work, o CNV evangelist!

[estara.livejournal.com]

one half is saint: I really believe this is an amazing book and people should read it not just because of your skill but also because of its subject matter and the rarity of its celebration of female friendship.
one half is sinner: I'd like to do my bit because I feel really bad for avoiding reading the manuscript for so long.

And I actually can do my share without breaking my back - it would have been more effective if I had a well-established book blog like Chachic and Ana, but still ^^.

[ewein2412]

you NEVER needed to feel guilty about that! It wasn't even as long as you think it was. NO APOLOGY NEEDED!

and you are still being heroic anyway. ♥

CNV is making waves in the interwebs, woohoo! *throws confetti* Like I said on Twitter, congrats on the success of the blog tour. I had so much fun going through all the posts (although I missed the Daisy Chain one, will drop by to check it out).

[ewein2412]

making waves thanks to you and a handful of other people! You are wonderful!

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

I am SO EXCITED that your wonderful book is getting at least some of the attention it deserves. May this be the beginning of many more good things to come!
