Ooooh, I am so absolutely excited for the launch week of Nice and Mean<\/em> and for my blog tour!\u00a0 I feel so lucky to have landed with these hosts.\u00a0 They asked fun questions and their blogs are quality, I\u2019m telling you\u2014quality.\u00a0 So here\u2019s where I\u2019ll be on each day of the week, and I hope you\u2019ll stop by to Win Valuable Prizes (more on that below):<\/p>\n

Monday at The Story Siren<\/a>:<\/strong> My Road to Publication and Other Rocky Tales[Edited to add on Monday morning: Blogger issues are delaying this one, but we hope to be up by lunch.]<\/p>\n

Tuesday at Green Bean Teen Queen<\/a>:<\/strong> My Worst Memory of Being Assigned to Work With Someone…Unpleasant<\/p>\n

Wednesday at The Page Flipper<\/a>:<\/strong> My Top Five Nice and Mean Characters<\/p>\n

Friday at Lauren\u2019s Crammed Bookshelf<\/a>:<\/strong> What\u2019s Unique about Nice and Mean<\/em> and getting The Call<\/p>\n

\u00a0Now, what are these prizes I speak of?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sweet, sparkly, shmancy--YOURS<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Amazing books you can have for free! <\/p><\/div>\n

And what are those objects in the picture, in case I can\u2019t read the fine print or wonder what\u2019s in the snack bag?<\/p>\n

Nice and Mean<\/em>-related swag<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* signed N&M bookmarks<\/div>\n
Swag of Nice-Girl Sachi:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
* Indian bangle bracelets (not as special as Nani’s ring, but still important)<\/div>\n
* Indian coconut candies (these are so good–you’re lucky Jess didn’t eat all of them)<\/div>\n
Swag of Mean Marina:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
* Dr. Pepper lip gloss (Dr. Pepper: the only drink)<\/div>\n
* Pilot Rolling Ball pens (PRBs: the only pen)<\/div>\n
* stick-on rhinestones (Yuck!\u00a0 Marina wishes you wouldn’t mention these.\u00a0 The mess with Rachel is their<\/em> fault!)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Et puis, les livres (and now, the books): <\/span><\/div>\n
* Summer Camp Secrets<\/strong><\/em> by Katy Grant (for all your middle-grade reading pleasure)<\/span><\/div>\n
* The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/strong><\/em> by Jenny Han (hm, I’m sensing a summer theme)<\/span><\/div>\n
* Saving Maddie<\/strong><\/em> by Varian Johnson (a page-turner by my indispensible friend)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>* Boys Are Dogs<\/strong> <\/em>by Leslie Margolis (one of\u00a0my new\u00a0favorite middle-grade books)<\/span><\/div>\n
* A signed <\/span>copy of Need<\/strong><\/em> by Carrie Jones (yes!\u00a0 Signed by the author!\u00a0 Not by\u00a0me that would be weird)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>* The Year I Turned Sixteen<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong>by Diane Schwemm (worth all ten pounds)<\/span><\/div>\n
* Front Page Face-Off<\/em> <\/strong>by Jo Whittemore (debut author’s madcap middle-grade)<\/span><\/div>\n
Wow!\u00a0 That\u2019s amazing!\u00a0 How do I win me some of that?<\/div>\n

You\u2019ll have to stop by the blog tour hosts.\u00a0 They have their own super-secret winner-picker methods that even I am not privy to.\u00a0 But let me tell you, if you find a suspicious number of entries from people named, I don\u2019t know, Shmessica Deader, or Princess Shmoopie Freader, it might be because I am trying to win back some of those coconut candies.\u00a0 I am serious.\u00a0 The Dr. Pepper lip gloss may be cool and the pens divine, but those coconut candies can make any situation a thousand times better.<\/p>\n

In the next post, you’ll see how you can win the Grand High Poo-Bah Prize: all the things pictured here plus a signed copy of Nice and Mean<\/em> itself!<\/p>\n

Thanks for your interest in Nice and Mean<\/em>.\u00a0 Let\u2019s get this party started!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
