Virtual Tour, Real Prizes

Happy Thursday! There's lots going on, and more over the weekend. But as you all know, I'll be at LepreCon 37 over said weekend, so gonna try to pack it all in here today. Thank me later. But FIRST...as my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know...there's some exciting news.

I got word this week that Piper out of Germany will be coming out with the German language version of "Alien Tango" in April, 2012! That follows the German language version of "Touched by an Alien", retitled "Aliens in Armani", that's coming in October, 2011. So, German Alien Collective Members, get ready and get the word out!

Now, on with the countdown! First off, the KLB Virtual Tour for "Alien in the Family" is going strong. Someone's already won the prize from Dren's B-Spot, but other prizes are still up for grabs. So, don't miss the review and prizes from Ramblings From a Chaotic Mind or Nancy McGregor's Big Bad Blog. Prizes galore are up for grabs at Hanging With Bells! and The Order of Smut Vixens -- and I do mean galore! Books, swag, it's all there, so get over and get entered to win!

The Rest of the Tour:
5/6 Larissa's Life: Feature
5/7 Chena (Guest Blogging): Review
5/8 Aria's Dark Musing: Review & Giveaway
5/9 Mark Of The Stars: Review
5/10 Love2Read4Fun: Review & Giveaway
5/10 KLB: Discussion & Swag Giveaway

Don't miss out -- hit each of those blogs on their day and get entered to win all the awesome!

Other reviews are also large and in charge. Check out what Babbling About Books and Lynette's Two Cents have to say about "Alien in the Family". Then head over to Smash Attack Reads to see what she thinks of "Touched by an Alien". And check out what Ellie Garratt has for her Tuesday Teaser. And then check out what I Smell Sheep has coming for the month of May.

The Alien/Katherine "Kitty" Katt series is this week's Book Chat over at Bitten By Books. So drop in and share your thoughts on the series.

From now until next week, we'll be on radio silence (other than Twitter and possibly Facebook) while I get ready for and am immersed in LepreCon 37. However, on Monday, we have a treat -- an interview and giveaway with Diane Dooley, newly minted author! It's a cool, fun interview, and you can win her cool, fun book, "Blue Galaxy", so don't miss it!

Until then, get down with your bad selves, read some books, hit some links, have great days, and I'll catch you on the flip side! Peace out, li'l gangstas!

Love,
Gini
