NINJA GIRL Audiobook Release Day!

categories: audiobook, cover love, giveaway, Ninja Girl, Release Day, Romance, The Cookie Jar Newsletter, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, YA

It’s a very exciting day, you guys! NINJA GIRL is now available as an audiobook!!!

Did you see the cover? *__* Oh my Ash, I love it and hope you do, too!

I’m so excited about this release and the narrators. Emily Woo Zeller is amazing! I’ve listened to some of her other work and thought she’d be great for Snow–then I heard a sample of NINJA GIRL.

And you guys: She. Is. Perfect!!!

You should go listen because seriously, wow! Emily captures the exact right feel of the characters/book right from the start. Can’t wait to hear the brilliant Brandon Utah voice Ash as well! <3 Emily and Brandon are so talented, and I’m thrilled they brought NINJA GIRL to life in audio!

I hope you’ll check it out, and let me know what you think! And if you know anyone who loves YA romance, ninjas and audiobooks, as always, I’d be so thankful if you’d help me spread the word :).

Hi-yah, hooray, and heck yeah, NINJA GIRL is now an audiobook!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

Yesterday was the start of The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad Book Blitz!

The blitz is hosted by Xpresso Book Tours, and I’m so thankful to all of the bloggers/bookworms who are participating! Giselle has been awesome to work with :).

Yesterday also began TGGGTBB Blog Tour that I tried to organize lol! To be honest, I’m incredibly thankful to the advanced readers who signed on to read and review book baby #4. Early reviews (reviews period!) are so important, and I was lucky that anyone signed on let alone the 13 fantastic people who did!

Thank you all so much for helping me spread the word about The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad–which comes out this Thursday! Woohoo!–and I hope you enjoy(ed) Sadie & Colton’s story!

That brings me to the giveaways!!!

There’s one for the blitz here and one for the tour here.

Please be sure to enter both giveaways, and good luck, everyone! Also: OMG just 3 more days!!! 😀

Just 9 More Days!!!

categories: Adorkable, doing what you love, Ninja Girl, Romance, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, YA

Just 9 more days until the release of The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad!!!

*Cue me freaking out*

You guys, I can’t believe the book is coming out next Thursday! Not going to lie, I thought I had another week LOL. But this is awesome because it feels like I’ve been waiting forever to share Sadie & Colton and all of the other characters I love with you :).

A few reasons I think/hope you’ll love The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad:

  1. Sadie. She’s hilarious, brave and wonderfully herself! She loves movies (especially Pride and Prejudice), dancing (especially ballroom), her parents and her friends. Sadie is also a dreamer, a hopeless romantic and slightly kiss-obsessed (though she’s never actually been kissed ;)).
  2. Colton Bishop. Gah, where do I start? Colton is so swoonworthy; it’s not even funny. He’s hot, yes, but it’s more than that. Pierced, cocky/confident, born without a filter, he likes cars, gets into fights and takes way-too-much pleasure in teasing Sadie. But he’s also loyal to his brother, reads romance and agrees to help our MC. Oh, and the boy delivers a devastating first kiss <3.
  3. The List. I love lists. Sadie does, too, and her list is filled with items she wants to complete before the end of senior year. Sadly, none have been checked off…yet.
  4. The Romance. I know I’ve said it before, but I love writing first (second & third) kisses lol. And the ones in this book are sure to curl your toes. I think they are some of the best I’ve ever written, and the chemistry between Sadie & Colton is off-the-charts. I hope they make you feel all the feels!
  5. The Friendships. Kyle Bishop (Colton’s twin brother) is Sadie’s best friend and long-time crush. Betty is her oldest friend, and at 79-years-old, she’s as fierce and fabulous as ever. Sadie and her mom have a great relationship as well which I loved writing. I just love all of the relationships in this one, and I hope you will, too!

Okay, I’m stopping now lol. I just really love this book!

It’s a YA romance, very similar in my mind to ADORKABLE and NINJA GIRL. My fear as always is that it won’t find its audience, the readers that will truly love it like I do.

This time I had 13 wonderful advanced readers. Lucky #13, I hope! I’m so nervous to find out what they thought and so thankful they agreed to read. A few have posted reviews on Goodreads, and one totally made me cry (in a good way!). I’ve asked that everyone post next week, and I hope they loved the book. I hope it’s enough and that other readers will discover, read and share their opinions!

Sadie & Colton’s story is so special to me. So much love was poured into this one <3.

If you enjoy YA romance, lists, enemies-to-more, twin brothers & bets, then The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad is the book for you!

9 more days, you guys! I hope you’re having an awesome week so far!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

Blitz, Book Birthday Week & My First Newsletter!

categories: Adorkable, Ninja Girl, NINJA GIRL 100th Review Giveaway, Romance, The Cookie Jar Newsletter, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, The Unbelievable Inconceivable Unforeseeable Truth About Ethan Wilder, Xpresso Book Tours, YA

First, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who entered the NINJA GIRL 100th Review Giveaway!!! This is a milestone for Snow, Ash and me, and I was so glad to see so many entries :).

I’m also very glad to announce the randomly chosen winner…

Irma!!!

Congrats, Irma! Thank you so much for entering the giveaway, and I hope you enjoy your $10 Amazon gift card! It should be in your inbox now :).

Second, I wanted to tell you about the Book Blitz for my upcoming release, The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad! <3

It’s being organized by Xpresso Book Tours (who made that beautiful banner *_*), and I’m very excited. There was a wonderful response to the cover which was so great to see!

Bloggers, if you want to help spread the word about The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad, I’d be so thankful!

Third, I didn’t realize but…it’s Book Birthday Week!!!

ADORKABLE, my debut, was published on March 31, 2016. NINJA GIRL came out March 30, 2017. And last year, The Unbelievable, Inconceivable, Unforeseeable Truth About Ethan Wilder came out April 5, 2018. You guys, all of my book babies have birthdays this week!

(Sidenote: It’s a hard time of the year for my family and me. Back when I released ADORKABLE, I was trying to make it better. Not sure it worked–but my books are something positive, and I hope they make people happy.)

If you follow me on Facebook, you’ll see all the Book Birthday pics I’ve posted–and I’ll be doing another Friday to celebrate Ethan! 🙂

And last, I sent my first newsletter! It took 7+ hours on Sunday (more before that), and I know there’s room for improvement lol. But it was sent–and according to MailChimp, actual people opened it, so yayyy!

The Cookie Jar Newsletter and this blog are really for my readers, to keep in touch with the people who love my books and want to know more <3.

There’s so much I want to share with you guys! I’ll be doing monthly giveaways only open to newsletter subscribers, offering fun free content and the latest news on my books :). If that sounds good to you, please subscribe here!

I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far, bookworms!

Happy reading,
