Book Tour Hosting

I don't know much about hosting book tours, but when the ladies at Twinja's BookReviews started Diverse Book Tours, I had to add myself to the list of  bloghosts. We need more diverse books but we also need to market those books. Plus, I'm a big fun of the dynamic duo and their ability to dish out book reviews like nobody's business.
Real quick, here is my experience with being a tour host:
-I hosted four books: Pig Park by Claudia Guadalupe Martinez, Dia of the Dead by Brit Brinson, The Savage Fortress by Sarwat Chadda, and The Sanctum Series by Madhuri Blaylock.
The comments may not be show it, but hosting the tour made December 2014 the most viewed month of my blog so far.
-The Sanctum Series by Madhuri Blaylcok has the most pageviews. Two weeks later, Madhuri's followers are still retweeting the her tweet about my blogpost. I can only dream of having readers and cool as hers.
-I tried to post on the weekends, when I normally wouldn't post anything. (Not that I am a heavy poster anyway).
-I got free books! Of course, a  review is required, but there is no timelimit on the review.
-I recommend Dia of the Dead for a quick read, The Savage Fortress for a well-written meaty novel read full of action and beautiful imagery, and The Sanctum Series for Action, Sexiness, and teenage angst. 
-Hosting was easy! Most of the promotion material was provided to me.
In summary, I definitely recommend tour hosing or just plain book hosting. If nothing else, it’s a great way to get out there and meet new people.
