			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AND it&#8217;s on tour! I&#8217;m so nervous and excited about sharing it with all of you! Since everything scary goes better with a friend, I&#8217;m taking a special blog tour this year. </p>
<p>You can win a signed copy of THE VESPERTINE and THE SPRINGSWEET at every single stop&#8211; and when I stop at an author&#8217;s blog, you can win their book too! When I stop at a bloggers&#8217; place, you can win one of their favorite books! </p>
<p>After the tour ends, you&#8217;ll be able to come back here and enter to win signed copies of THE VESPERTINE and THE SPRINGSWEET, as well as an illustrated copy of Christina Rossetti&#8217;s GOBLIN MARKET, a blue lampwork necklace, a lover&#8217;s garden packet, and a Tea Forte sampler. </p>
<p>All you have to do at any stop is share what&#8217;s on your TBR pile, and leave your contact info. Special note&#8211; only one stop, at Sarah Rees Brennan&#8217;s blog, is open to international entries. All others are United States and Canada only. All prizes will be announced and awarded at the end of the tour.</p>
<p>So dang, let&#8217;s get started!</p>

<p>1) Second chance to get a first look at that cover. I can totally brag on the cover because I had nothing to do with it. That was all the brilliant people at Houghton&#8211; and they made sure the pretty foil came along to the paperback release. *floves*</p>
<p>2) It&#8217;s one of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Vespertine-Saundra-Mitchell/dp/0547721935/"><strong>4 for 3 books on Amazon today</strong></a><strong>, </strong>which means you could get DIVERGENT, PAPER TOWNS and MATCHED, and THE VESPERTINE would be free!</p>
<p>3) It contains the first chapter of THE SPRINGSWEET. So if you want to get a peek at the first chapter of Zora&#8217;s book a month early (it comes out April 17th!) it&#8217;s right there in the back of the paperback of THE VESPERTINE!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m giving away 5 signed copies of THE VESPERTINE today. All you have to do is tweet:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The Vespertine is officially out in paperback today!</em><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780547721934"><em>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780547721934</em></a><em> </em><a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/search/%23vespertine"><em><s>#</s><b>vespertine</b></em></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Awwww yis!! Whatcha doing next Thursday? Set the DVR for The Vampire Diaries and come on out to Malaprops, where nine YA authors face off in a battle TO THE DEATH&#8230; I mean, where nine YA hang out, chat about fiction, writing, and everything else, and sign books afterwards for all who are interested. </p>
<p>And guess who the authors are? Carrie Ryan, Beth Revis, Jackson Pearce, Tessa Gratton, Brenna Yovanoff, Myra McEntire, Victoria Schwab, Sonia Gensler, and me! Talking, then signing. General mayhem throughout! We hope you&#8217;ll stop by and see us at Malaprops! </p>
