This is the kind of book my daughter and her friends would love to read but as we live overseas, we normally buy ebooks as it saves on space and weight. I considering purchasing a hard copy just to place in our school's library. looking forward to the book coming out.

It's popular and still growing in popularity, and is *especially* strong with the YA crowd (which is mostly girls). Sign up for goodreads for an author account in her name, put the book up with as much information as you can. Ask the reviewers to also post a review on goodreads, and submit it to groups. It has a great 'if you liked book x, you may like book y' system, and if you can get into that, you can get out the word to a lot of random people who are likely to be in the target audience, and likely some who have a decent following.

Woohoo! On a side note, I just started my Davis fundraising this afternoon. This should be interesting. <i> insert graphic of nervously sweating woman here</i>. I'm basically promising people (that I know well enough), that I plan to achieve a 100# weight loss by the bike ride on 6/23 (I'm just at about 70# now), and should they agree to donate to support me and Livestrong in advance, but I don't actually lose 100 pounds by then, that I'll donate <b>1.5 times</b> the amount they gave to Livestrong, back to the charity of their choice. This is either the best or worst fundraising idea I have ever had. It could so easily go either way!
