Half-Assed blog book tour

May 5, 2008 at 10:06 AM

I'm going on tour - a blog tour. For the next three weeks, I'll be making stops every week day at different locations in the blogosphere to talk about my book. There will be reviews, interviews, guest posts and perhaps even podcasts. It would be fun to tour the country on a book tour, but also rather expensive and I don't have the vacation time. A blog tour is better because I save a lot on gas money. And I don't have to find someone to feed my cat.

We're kicking it off today with the woman who helped get this whole book thing rolling, Kalyn Denny of Kalyn's Kitchen. Here is a schedule of the rest of my stops, which I will update with direct links to the posts as they go live. It should be lots of fun, so I hope everyone will check it out!

Monday, May 5: Kalyn's Kitchen
Tuesday, May 6: CalorieLab (interview)
Wednesday, May 7: Life of L
Thursday, May 8: Big Fat Deal
Friday, May 9: Cranky Fitness
Monday, May 12: DietGirl
Tuesday, May 13: Diet Blog (guest post)
Wednesday, May 14: Elastic Waist (interview)
Thursday, May 15: Livin' La Vida Low Carb (podcast)
Friday, May 16: Back in Skinny Jeans (podcast)
Monday, May 19: Manic Mommy (book giveaway!)
Tuesday, May 20: CalorieLab (review)
Wednesday, May 21: Elastic Waist (guest on video show The Daily Special)
Thursday, May 22: The Skinny at the Florida Sun-Sentinel
Friday, May 23: Roni's Weight Watchen Page
Monday, May 26: The Diet Naked Blog formerly "The Amazing Shrinking Mom" (book giveaway!)

I also wanted to thank the following blogs for posting reviews before I got my act together to schedule the blog tour.

April 10 - In My Heels
April 24 - Morgan Gets Thin
April 26 - Yet Another Weight Watcher's Blog

And if you've posted a review, interview, revealing photos of me and want to be listed in this post, e-mail me and I'll include a link. Except if you posted revealing photos, in which case I'll send you a cease and desist letter.

I just wanted to say that I bought the book this weekend and am almost finished. It is great, and I can see some of myself in the book. Thanks for writing your story, because I know it helps me, and others, keep moving. You rock, PQ!

What a fab concept, I'll be sure to look out for you. I'm just new to this wonderful world of blogging and I'm completely and utterly inspired. You've done what I'm dreaming of.

I wish you every possible success with the book, you're an inspiration [over-use of the word but utterly appropriate me thinks. I'm likely to tell you every time I post you a message, it'll be a wee while before you can take it as a given]

I'm about 3/4 of the way through your book - and I think it's great! Thanks for putting it out there! I've even mentioned it a couple of times on my blog. Once I'm done, I'll probably mention it again!

Whoops! Looks like an extra space snuck in at the end of the link. Thanks for telling me. I've fixed it.

Jennette: Congratulations on your book. I purchased a copy at the Borders at Casleton Mall Sat the 3rd. I was surprised they didn't have a table set up for one of their local authors -- instead I had to dig for it in the health/diet section! [I told em so too.] Wishing you the best.

Jennifer Garner just emailed me! How long has she been working for a PR company? And why is she discussing the evils of soda?
