As part of the Host the Host tour going on right now, you can enter to win a brand new copy of Stephenie Meyer's The Host at my blog. There's a listing of all the tour stops, as well.

I also have a bunch of other giveaways going on, so be sure to check the listing in the sidebar.

Hi Vanessa, could l ask a tiny thing from you? Could you tell me basically, how does a blog tour work? l haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.
Thanks, Ella
I'll tell you, Ella. :)

A blog tour is when an author "tours" various blogs. This one that Hachette has organized is a little different because the author's not having any interaction with the bloggers, but normally the author is accessible to do guest posts and/or interviews.

Generally on a blog tour, the person organizing the tour will find a mutually agreeable date for the blogger to post their review of the book, thus the author has a schedule of sorts.

A blog tour is generally anywhere from 10 to 15 to 20 or more "stops", and while not all of those stops have to be reviews, it's best when a good portion of the stops are the blogger reviewing the book (though that's my opinion).

Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you so much!
l've been asking around about this, but you're the 1st person that gave me an actual answer!
Sorry, I just saw your comment now. Looks like Trish has you covered, though!
no worries :)
I'll be hosting "The Host" on June 28. There will be a review and a giveaway, so be sure to check out my blog on the 28th!
