Children's Book Blog Tour » Kidz Book Buzz Bizz http://kidzbookbuzz.com Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:01:33 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 Sand to Stone and Back Again ~ the Wrap http://kidzbookbuzz.com/2010/01/sand-to-stone-and-back-again-the-wrap/ http://kidzbookbuzz.com/2010/01/sand-to-stone-and-back-again-the-wrap/#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:52:21 +0000 sally apokedak http://kidzbookbuzz.com/?p=1089

 

It was a small tour, but an enjoyable one, with a lovely book. In the end we had 6 blogs participate with 16 posts…that means almost all the participating bloggers posted three days!  Who knew there would so much to say about this book?

The posts included:

7 reviews: 

2 interviews with Nancy Bo Flood:

1 interview with the photographer:

1 post introducing many of the author’s other books: 

1 rambling lecture on writing the truth: 

and 1 link to a discussion of race in children’s books:

Three bloggers signed up but didn’t participate…I blame myself for rescheduling the tour. I”m sure this caused conflicts for some. I’m sorry they missed out on this lovely book, though.

Becky give me a couple of days to get the Amazon gift certificate to you–someone stole my CC info :yikes: and I have to wait for a new card.

Also I am going with a new policy for the three-day bloggers. From now on you get a hearty “THANK YOU!” and that’s all. 

:laugh:

Sorry. I was in the hospital for twelve days a couple of months ago and sitting at home all day, blogging, amazingly, does not come with health insurance. So…I am scrambling to pay my bills and I am having to cut back on the fun stuff.

(I know, what a world, eh? One funny friend, after I’d written, pouring out my woes and telling her I was going to have to get a job, wrote back so sympathetically and said, “I’m so sorry you were sick. And now you have to look for gainful employment! What’s next? Daily bathing?” heh heh With friends like that….)

But back to the bizz at hand: For this last tour, I am not even going to open the thing up for a vote. I am declaring SMS Book Reviews the winner because she did a couple of wonderful interviews. And I am also sending The Hungry Readers a gift certificate for their long-time faithfulness at posting three days on blog tours and for always putting up interesting, thought-provoking posts.

If you don’t like my tyrannical decisions here, I say in the words of Edward, the Black Prince of Wales, as recorded in the movie A Knight’s Tale, “This is my word. And as such is beyond contestation.”

ha ha That was a great impersonation, wasn’t it? If I do say so myself. :)

:wave:

Superfast Reader posted one interview with Shannon and Dean Hale  and another one with Nathan Hale, and I posted an interview all three of them. 

That brings our stats for this tour to:

Thanks so much!

I was going to come on very quickly, slam up the particulars of the Just Grace blog tour, and take my weary body back to bed to finish watching my favorite version of Nicholas Nickleby. So I see a little button telling me WordPress needs to be updated and I try the new automatic update system, and I broke my blog. I’ve been working for two hours and am no closer to fixing my old theme than when I started. So I have downloaded a temporary theme. Hence the new look. Please bear with me–it’s a little clunky.

But we shall push on with the particulars for the Just Grace and the Snack Attack blog tour.

So here we go:

The book is Just Grace and the Snack Attack, by Charise Mericle Harper.
