categories: cover love, Goodreads, Romance, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, Xpresso Book Tours, YA

Ahhh, it’s time, you guys! The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad will be released on April 25th (exactly a month from today!), and I am so excited to share this one with you :)! Thank you so much to Xpresso Book Tours and to everyone who signed up for the cover reveal!

Without further ado..

…here is the cover…

…for my upcoming YA romance…

…The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad <3.

*Sigh* So gorgeous!!! *__*

Seriously, did you swoon when you first saw it? Because I totally did lol! I love, love, love everything about it–the couple, the colors, the slight wave in the title, the tagline…the way they’re looking at each other *sigh* <3.

(Plus, this was taken in a library which is significant to Sadie–and it could totally be a scene out of the book. *hint, hint* :))

Stephanie Mooney worked with me again on this cover, and she is amazing/talented/wonderful! I’m so thankful for her!

Again, I cannot wait to share Sadie, Colton, Kyle, Betty and all of the awesome in this book with you guys! <3 Here’s the link if you’d like to add The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad on Goodreads, and thank you again for your support!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!

Okay, so I know this is a little late, but one of my favorite people was born on this holiday, and I hope you all had an awesome one :). Did you wear green, find four-leaf clovers, and celebrate in wonderful ways? Were there books involved?

I spent mine at a dance competition with my awesome mom. Sadly, there were no books–but there was dancing, and I got to watch some of the kids I teach do amazing!

I wasn’t sure what to post to be honest, but here is an update on all things bookish:

—NINJA GIRL reached 100 reviews on Amazon! <333 Yay!!! Plus, review 100 was very nice (thank you so much, Hollie!), and I’m so grateful!

–I took 3 more pictures of my books with the glasses my Aunt Colleen made which turned out pretty cool imo :).

–In 6 days, the cover for The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad will be revealed!!!! That’s next Monday (March 25th), eep! So excited to share it with you guys, and I hope you love it as much as I do!

–2 awesome readers sent me wonderful messages about my books <3. Thank you so much, Bobi and Mai! Your kind words really lifted my spirits, and I’m so glad you sent them!

–AND later in the week I’m going to have a giveaway to celebrate NINJA GIRL‘s 100th Amazon review! You’ve got to celebrate the good, right? And I may even try to do another post bc I missed last week and have more to share with you guys :).

Anyway, I hope you’re all well and that your week is off to a great start! May the luck of the Irish be with you!

Happy reading,

Finding the Good

categories: Adorkable, kindness, nice surprise, Ninja Girl, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, The Unbelievable Inconceivable Unforeseeable Truth About Ethan Wilder, YA

My awesome Aunt Colleen made me these glasses (one for each of my books!), and I wanted to share them with you guys <3.

It’s such a thoughtful gift, and I absolutely love them!

Since I don’t drink, though, I told her I’d just use them for water or Ginger Ale lol :).

Some not-so-wonderful things have happened in the past weeks, and my mind has been on some tough decisions. But these glasses really brighten my days. My mom and my Aunt Colleen really brighten my days.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate them, how all the big and little things really matter.

My books (ADORKABLE, NINJA GIRL, The Unbelievable, Inconceivable, Unforeseeable Truth About Ethan Wilder and my upcoming release The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad) are meant to be pick-me-ups. I hope they make people’s days better. I hope I can give that bit of happiness to someone through my writing.

The first ARC copies of The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad have gone out. Eep! I can’t tell you how much I hope readers enjoy Sadie’s book. Not even going to lie: I really love this one. It’s a bit scary, putting something you care about into the hands of others, hoping it will bring them joy, laughter, love and all the feels–hoping, hoping, hoping… Ahh, can you tell I’m nervous lol?

Anyway, I’m sure this post rambled a bit. To ramble further and get even more off topic, at least two of my students cried in class the other day. Not because of me, thank goodness, but in one case because she was stressed, and I felt SO much empathy for her, totally could relate.

So, I just wanted to say: I hope you have a wonderful weekend, readers. No matter how small it may be, I hope you can find the good. Focus on the positive, and don’t let the negative drag you down. Don’t let stress bring you down either. I hope you find that bright spot and bask in it–hopefully with a great book in hand :).

Happy reading,
