Matchbox Girls Blog Tour

We’re gearing up for the release of Matchbox Girls by Chrysoula Tzavelas on February 21, and to get everyone excited, we’re sending Chrysoula out on a blog tour!

From Feb. 15 through Feb. 28, Chrysoula will be stopping by several different spots around the web to talk about the book. Better still, the characters of Matchbox Girls will be making some appearances! This is a great opportunity to get to know the characters a little better, and to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what makes them – and the book – tick.

Here’s the lineup so far:

2/15: Bibliognome

2/16: Fantasy Nibbles

2/20: Rowan Cota on G+

2/21 (release day!): The Discriminating Fangirl

2/22: Adventures of 2.0

2/23: Hopeless Bibliophile

2/27: Here at the C&G blog!

2/28: Books Make Me Happy

3/01: Jo the Booky

We may have more stops coming up – we’ll keep you posted!

Now, as an incentive to check out all of this great blog tour, there’s going to be a few digital giveaways by various blogs along the way. Plus, if you pop in at each stop and comment there, you can get additional entries in our own giveaway, for a great big Matchbox Girls prize package, which will include a paperback copy of the book and lots of other goodies! Use the widget below to enter – and you can earn extra entries by following the tour, tweeting about the giveaway, liking us on Facebook, and more! Just come back each day with a link to your comments on the blog tour and you’ll get your extra entries.

Good luck, and enjoy!
