The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad is now available for anyone and everyone to read! Sadie & Colton’s story is so close to my heart. I hope readers love them as much as I do. I hope they laugh and swoon, find a kindred spirit in Sadie and fall head-over-heels in love with Colton <3. Oh, and I hope they love Betty, Kyle, Cora and Tim, too!
Thank you so much to every single person who picks up this book. Thank you to anyone who helps spread the word about TGGGTBB so other awesome bookish peeps can discover it! May the Force be with you, and may the odds be ever in your favor, my lovely readers. I’m so grateful for you and all of your support.
If you love YA romance, enemies-to-more, dance, twin brothers, lists & bets, I’d love it if you check out The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad! Ahhh, I’m so excited to see what you think! Please let me know, and I hope you enjoy!
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!
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 :).
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 ;)).
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 :).
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!
(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!
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!
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!

Thank you so much to everyone who wrote a review and made this happen! I’ve said it before, but it is still true: My readers are the best of the best; they rock my socks; they are the cream of the crop, and I’m so grateful for them! <3
Good luck, everyone, and I hope you have an awesome weekend!
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!
Okay, so I’m trying something a little different :).
It’s actually a lot different, and I’m hoping I don’t mess it up lol. *deep breath* Since I wasn’t able to sign up for a blog tour for the release week of The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad…
I’m trying to set up my own blog tour!
Early reviews are so important, and I was hoping some of you might help me out with this! I’ve already sent a few emails to awesome bloggers who I know enjoyed at least one of my books–but if you’re interested, you can still be a part of this!
Are you a blogger? Does The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad summary sound good to you? Would you like to be one of the first readers of my newest book? Are you able to read and post an honest review on release week (April 22-26)?
If you answered yes, awesome!!! Please use the comment form or email me at cookieogorman [at] gmail [dot] com with the name of your blog and a request for a digital ARC of TGGGTBB!
Also, if you’d like to be a part of the Cover Reveal on March 25th organized by Xpresso Book Tours, please sign-up here!
You can also add The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad to your Goodreads TBR here! (19 readers already have, woohoo!!! Thank you so much! You guys rock!)
I hope you all have an awesome week with zero stress, good people and the best books <3.
So, I can’t hold it in anymore lol! It’s time to put my new book out there, and I’m so freaking excited to share it with you!!! The title and summary are now up, and you can add it to your Goodreads TBR pile here :).
The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad was soooo much fun to write, and I hope it will be just as much fun to read <3. It features Sadie, who was introduced in NINJA GIRL, and she is hilarious, loves dance/movies/kissing scenes and is a girl after my own heart. Oh, I really do love her! And OMG I cannot wait for you to meet the other characters in the book! Twin brothers, Kyle and Colton Bishop (sigh*fans self*get ready ladies, these boys will make you swoon till you can’t swoon anymore LOL!), and vivacious Betty! Ugh, the laughs, the romance, the kissing scenes! I hardly ever feel comfortable saying this, but:
I really think you’ll love this one! This is like my love letter to all of my readers who enjoyed my previous books <3.
If you have a blog and want to be part of the Cover Reveal, the Xpresso Book Tour sign-up is here! (Sidenote: It is gorgeous, you guys *__*)
If you’re a fan of amazing first kisses, smokin’ hot twin brothers, making lists and laughing out loud while you swoon, I’d be so thankful if you’d add The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad to your TBR!
I hope you’re all well and that you have an awesome weekend!
Happy reading,
Cookie O’Gorman
P.S. I’ll post next week about something else I’m trying to put together with regards to TGGGTBB, so be on the lookout! 🙂
As I mentioned, for this week only, NINJA GIRL is available for just $0.99!!! Yipee, woohoo, hi-yah :).If you’re a YA romance reader who likes to laugh while you swoon, I’d love for you to give Snow and Ash’s story a chance. My girl, Snow, is such a badass, and Ash is SO disarmingly charming/swoonworthy <3. If you do give it a shot, I hope you enjoy all the action scenes, the kissing scenes as well as the marshmallow fluff–oh and the kimchi!
Sidenote: If you loved Ash in ADORKABLE, you’ll love him here. *sigh*
Again, NINJA GIRL is just $0.99 this week! This sale will only last from Monday to Saturday, and I’d be ever so grateful if you’d help me spread the word (especially if you know any readers who need a pick-me-up/a taste of happily-ever-after ;)). Thank you so much in advance!
