We Came, We Saw, We Took Over
August 10th, 2011
In most circles I’m known for my beauty and brilliance, as well as my modesty.*
(*O_o)
Which is why it’s so hard for me to talk about what a smashing, amazing success the [first leg of the] Girls Taking Over the World book tour was!*
(*Coughs*)
But nevertheless, I’ll take a stab at it here.
HOLY WAH, IT WAS SOoooOoo AWESOME!
The first stop of the tour was Nicola’s Books in Ann Arbor. Look, they even had a display set up for us! Featuring all our books!

We did a quick talk about why it’s important to have strong female voices in teen books. Here we are trying to sound smart, which is hard when Rhonda Stapleton keeps snorting, which makes the rest of us snort.

From left to right are Christine Johnson, Rhonda Stapleton, Saundra Mitchell, me, and Aimee Carter
But you know what my favorite part was? YOU! All of you who came and packed the house!
Look at how many of you were there!!!

And some of you even wanted us to sign your books!

Dude, we had the BEST. TIME. EVER.
Thanks to everyone who turned out to support girls and books and reading and GTOTW and Aggie and shoes and cheese and … wait, now I’m just listing things I love.
Anyway. Aggie’s debut and the first leg of the tour were uh-maze-ing. Because you all made it that way.
*blows you kisses*
Thank you.
Really really.
