Cindy C. Bennett's Blog, page 70

Black Friday is Here! However,These Blogs are Anything but Black for Geek Girl!

Today is the final day for what has been an amazing book blog tour for Geek Girl. These are the last 3 blogs on the official tour. The may be last, but they are definitely not least! To see all of the blogs who have participated in the tour, I've put a list with their cute blog buttons to the left side of my blog. Go check these bloggers sites who have been kind enough to share their time and blog space with me on this blog tour.

Ali's Bookshelf: Ali says: "Geek girl is an outstanding piece of fiction... While reading this incredible story, I couldn't get enough of the story and the characters so much so that I was so sad when the story ended. I wanted more!" "I (absolutely) adore the plot of this great book." "I love so much about this great book and I could go on and on about the stuff I loved about it..."



Bibliojunkies: (Review and Interview) Natalie says: "...what do I have to say about Trevor Hoffman? All I can say is move over Peeta Mellark! If you know how much I LOVE Peeta, you will be thoroughly shocked to read this." "Another refreshing message in this story is that being loved by a boy doesn't solve all of life's problems...Jen has to learn to love herself and not depend on someone else's feelings about her to determine her self-worth." "It is a great story that I will be recommending it to my YA loving friends – both young and old."



Book & Movie Dimension: Cassandra says: "This is such a bubbly romantic read... there isn't a moment that wont capture your entire attention." "The romance between a geek and goth type isn't the only thing that will stand out... It will slowly build this warm thump, thump, in your heart." "Jen is such a hilarious girl." "The best part though is that (Trevor's) just really, in fact handsome but chooses his geeky nature. Throughout the story, it becomes really easy to fall in love with Trevor." 

I'm Thankful for All the Blogs who have Participated on My Blog Tour.

"I recommend Geek Girl for anyone looking for a clean, really fun, and very well-written story. I loved it!"



All About Me: (Review and Interview) Pamela says:"The most special thing about this book was how it came alive for me. Jen and Trevor were solid characters that felt very true, and because of that, they leaped off the pages." "Geek Girl is a must read for anyone who loves romance, YA, family-orientated fiction or a damn good read. I'm recommending this to anyone who will listen."

Ink Scratchers: Jade says: "Stop smiling Jade. Stop smiling!. . .  Stop enjoying this book!" "I had awww moments and yay moments and I barely made it through this book without looking at the last page to see how it turned out (I would have if it wasn't my kindle that i was reading it on)." "...when we get to the second half, we hear Jen's story, ...the book takes this whole new direction with sweet moments but also a lot of heartbreak."

It's Monday, but That's Not All Bad! At Least, Not for the Geek Girl Blog Tour

Ficticious Musings: (Review and Guest Post) Jennifer says: "Jen and Trevor are definitely in the running for favorite characters of the year in my book." "The emotional quality of Geek Girl is enough to keep you flipping the pages but there is so much more to the story than a bet made between friends." "The only bad thing about Geek Girl is that it ended." Read Cindy's guest post, "Why Geeks Rule the World"



Alexa Loves Books: "Trev, in my imagination, was definitely a hot geek -- and since that is just my type, I found that I was constantly swooning over his words, his actions and even his character." "Jen, on the other hand, is definitely a little more complex..." "I was touched and emotionally affected during several moments in the story and it was enough to convince me that I should find a geek of my own to love."



Six Mixed Reviews: Misty says: "Filled with intelligent humor, playful banter, and heart-breaking revelations, Geek Girl is a move-to-the-top-of-your-to-read-list read." "Bennett's writing style is witty and relatable." "Jen and Trevor are delightful together, and the entire cast of characters is well developed in just a few masterful strokes." "Now, I'm off to hunt down Bennett's other book (Heart On A Chain). If you need me, I'll be in my reading chair."

Bonus! Krazy Book Lady's 15-year-old daughter added her review to her mom's! She says: "My favorite things about this book are how realistic it was and the word usage. The author really painted a picture of what was happening with her details. I really enjoyed reading this, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fun but emotional read."





Starcrossed: Jess says: "I really liked this book, you quickly get under the main charachter's skin and start to understand why she makes the decision's she makes. "My life wasn't the easiest so I started to gather toughness around me like a shield, alot like Jen did." "I know how much it can hurt to have someone date you as a joke, or a bet. This book gave me an insider's look at how the other person might have been hurting."

Bonus! Darcus also wrote a review: Darcus says: "I absolutely loved this book." "I applaud Cindy C. Bennett for writing a very realistic book.

I have no idea. I can tell you, I'm so glad I did." "I was immediately captured by Jen's character and her off-beat personality." "To me, Jen makes this book great."

Love Unexpected Reviews!

There's nothing better than having Google Alert come up on your email and discovering an unexpected review from someone who won a copy of Heart on a Chain! Here are links to Evangeline's review on the two blogs she posted it on.


Sugarpeach 



  Adopt an Indie



Here's a little of what she said:

"It is all I can do to not gush about Heart on a Chain."
"When I started reading Heart on a Chain, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. It was such a sweet, touching story and yet, the harsh themes in it provided a balance that reminds a reader of real life."
"When I completed the novel, I immediately re-read it. I hardly ever re-read novels immediately after completion because I usually don't have the time for it, but Heart on a Chain was so worth it. I enjoyed every single page of the novel. "

Terrific Thursday - for Geek Girl Anyway, Thanks to These Blogs
