Day three! What a fun tour this has been.
Here are new links to new posts. I’ll start with the sites that are giving away a copy of the book. Kathryn has been quite generous in supplying books for giveaways. Here’s your chance, you Canadian bloggers who couldn’t get in on the tour because Harper Collins wouldn’t send you books. I hope you win a copy of this book, because it is really a great book and one you’ll want to blog about when you do read it.
So, you can win a copy at:
and
Through the Looking Glass Book Review
Other new posts up since yesterday afternoon:
Cafe of Dreams April valiantly posted today even though she spent much of the night at the hospital with a sick child. There’s dedication for you. And she said she was happy to do it because she liked this book so much. Keep that in mind when you vote on the three-day blogger who should win the Amazon gift certificate. =0)
Dolce Belezza who always has the most wonderful pictures on her site
Hyperbole Christy says this is her favorite of all the books she’s blogged about–that doesn’t surprise me. She also made chocolate-covered strawberries and failed to save me any. Harrumph.
Reading is My Superpower SuperfastReader gave us a wrap-up and some foodology.
Becky, at A Christian Worldview of Fiction, posted on the themes and why they worked so well.
Thanks, you all. This tour has been great!

Yeah, I can see how you would feel that way. Several of the bloggers are in agreement with you. I always pick good novels for the tour, I think. I pick ones I enjoy, with good characterization, and fine writing. So it’s not like the other books on the tour have been slackers by any means.
But there is something special about Groovy and her way of viewing the world, I have to admit.
And her supporting cast all did great. I think one of the things I love most about the book is the way it all tied together. Every part supported the big picture. It really was carefully put together.

wow–I got to read the chapter that Amazon lets you read and I just fell right into it. It was effortless and captivating and something I couldn’t put down–but Amazon won’t let me have the whole thing! I had to purchase it. Thank you so much for advising me to get a glimpse of it :-)

You’re mighty welcome, Ruth. Glad you enjoyed it. You won’t be disappointed. The book delivers on the promise of the first chapter.
