Our blog tour was extended a day! That means you have one more chance to get your comments in for the drawing. A Geek Girl tote, funky sunglasses and towel, sun lotion, and of course, the beach reads, all this could be yours. Leave a comment on our host’s site and you might win a signed copy of The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading and Prada and Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard.

We’re over at The Book Reader today, sharing our somewhat silly top ten list for collaborating online. (Okay, so it’s totally silly.) While you’re there, you can check out the review as well.

And hang on. Soon, soon, we will announce the winner of the BFF contest.

In a little bit, we’ll announce the winner of our big BFF launch contest. But first, we want to make sure to thank everyone who participated, from sending in entries, linking to the contest post, getting it up on Twitter and Facebook, and so on.

You really made our launch special. We’d really like to thank everyone who sent in their BFF story. It was so inspiring and amazing to read so many amazing testaments to friendship. Thank you for sharing them with us. It was a honor and a privilege to read your stories.

Thank you!
