Yes, it’s true! I actually noticed this a little while ago, but I was waiting to post anything in case it was a hallucination lol (but seriously).
NINJA GIRL now has over 1,000 readers on Goodreads, you guys!!! Yayyyyy, woohoo, hi-yah! *__*
I couldn’t believe it at first. Truthfully, I watch my numbers like a hawk (it’s an awful habit, and I definitely don’t recommend it. But it is what it is), and I wasn’t sure if book baby #2 would ever reach that number. But it did, and I am so thankful for that!
One of those awesome readers made this beautiful collage, paired with a great review for Nindzsalány (the hungarian version of NINJA GIRL), and I love it <333. I don’t speak Hungarian, but I know how to use Google Translate ;). Imádom! Thank you so much, Patti!

Another awesome reader, Abbey, took this incredible picture and chose NINJA GIRL‘s Snow as her strong female lead for a challenge–which ahhhh! Thank you, Abbey, I love everything about this! <3
And did you know that out of those 1,000+ readers, there’s a wonderful mix of female and male ninjas?
Of all of the books I’ve released so far, I think NINJA GIRL has had the most male readers (at least judging by the usernames which I know aren’t always accurate…and sometimes they can be girl or boy names but still…). It was something I noticed early on, and it was such a surprise! With YA romance, I’d think my target audience is mostly made up of young female readers which rocks! But I’m also glad that boys/men read my books because 1) YA romance is awesome and 2) I hope everyone can enjoy it :).
Maybe it’s a ninja thing? Idk, but again, I’m just so thankful for every single reader!
Thank you, ninjas, for reading and supporting my books! Thank you for embracing Snow and Ash, Sally and Becks, Delilah and Ethan!
You all rock, and I hope you know it.
Happy reading,
Cookie O’Gorman
P.S. I will be doing a giveaway next week to celebrate!!! 🙂
