Love the beach? Then you'll adore this week's book tour
stops for Barefoot Girls!
As you know, my novel definitely qualifies as a beach read
(see my post whats-beach-read-anyway.html for details). As you might not know...I love the beach. One of my favorite
places in the world! There is no sound more relaxing to me than the sound of
waves crashing on the shore rhythmically, and I live for the feel of cool salt
air washing over sun-warmed skin and the gritty tickle of sand between toes,
the sight of a jaunty parade of colorful beach umbrellas lining the shore and
children running and playing in the waves, the sweet childish pleasure of a
sno-cone or Italian ice, and the comforting memory-filled scent of Coppertone
in the air.
This week, two book bloggers who obviously love the beach,
too (as you can see if you visit their sites), are hosting virtual book blog
tour events on their blogs. Be sure to check them out and get a little taste of
sun and surf along with great book suggestions and many fascinating
conversations in the comment sections of their posts.
Escape with a Good Book (Link: http://www.escapewithdollycas.com/2012/06/12/special-guest-tara-mctiernan) hosted me yesterday and, wow, was that a
fun mini-beach-vacation-getaway! Such great comments and stories about readers'
relationships with their mothers and friends...it was truly inspiring. Lori
(Dollycas) is also running a giveaway of a free ebook of Barefoot Girls for the next twelve days, so if you want a chance at
a copy, don't forget to enter!
Kathleen at Jersey Girl Book Reviews (Link: http://jerseygirlbookreviews.blogspot.com/) is hosting me this Friday and I am
psyched! Her book blog is also fantastic, well-written, and very beach-themed
with lots of photos and beautiful images of the shore. Can't wait to see how
the event goes and hope you can drop by and join in the conversation.
What a fun week! Now I'm really dying to go to the
beach....Ash, honey? Can we? Pretty please?
