The Peculiar (The Peculiar #1) by Stefan Bachmann
Publication Date: September 18th 2012
Published by: Greenwillow Books
Genre: Middle Grade, Fantasy

Don't get yourself noticed and you won't get yourself hanged.

In the faery slums of Bath, Bartholomew Kettle and his sister Hettie live by these words. Bartholomew and Hettie are changelings--Peculiars--and neither faeries nor humans want anything to do with them.

One day a mysterious lady in a plum-colored dress comes gliding down Old Crow Alley. Bartholomew watches her through his window. Who is she? What does she want? And when Bartholomew witnesses the lady whisking away, in a whirling ring of feathers, the boy who lives across the alley--Bartholomew forgets the rules and gets himself noticed.

First he's noticed by the lady in plum herself, then by something darkly magical and mysterious, by Jack Box and the Raggedy Man, by the powerful Mr. Lickerish . . . and by Arthur Jelliby, a young man trying to slip through the world unnoticed, too, and who, against all odds, offers Bartholomew friendship and a way to belong.

Part murder mystery, part gothic fantasy, part steampunk adventure, "The Peculiar" is Stefan Bachmann's riveting, inventive, and unforgettable debut novel.

The tour will run from January 13 to 24, 2012. We will be having guest posts, reviews, and a very special video Q&A from Stefan Bachmann himself! And what is a PBT book tour without an awesome giveaway for everyone?

This tour is created in coordination with National Bookstore and HarperCollins International.

[FINISHED] Book Tour: Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr

Hello Filipino book bloggers!

We have a special treat for you all! Melissa Marr's new book has been published a few days ago in the US, and HarperCollins International has reached out to us for a book tour! Are you interested? Check the info below to find out how to participate in this tour.

Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr
Publication Date: September 4th 2012
Published by: HarperCollins
Genre: YA, Paranormal

In a city of daimons, rigid class lines separate the powerful from the power-hungry. And at the heart of The City is the Carnival of Souls, where both murder and pleasure are offered up for sale. Once in a generation, the carnival hosts a deadly competition that allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite. Without the competition, Aya and Kaleb would both face bleak futures--if for different reasons. For each of them, fighting to the death is the only way to try to live.

All Mallory knows of The City is that her father--and every other witch there--fled it for a life in exile in the human world. Instead of a typical teenage life full of friends and maybe even a little romance, Mallory scans quiet streets for threats, hides herself away, and trains to be lethal. She knows it's only a matter of time until a daimon finds her and her father, so she readies herself for the inevitable. While Mallory possesses little knowledge of The City, every inhabitant of The City knows of her. There are plans for Mallory, and soon she, too, will be drawn into the decadence and danger that is the Carnival of Souls.

TOUR DETAILS:

The tour will run from October 5th to October 19th.

Fully Booked, our partner for this tour, will also be having a Twitter contest for a copy of Carnival of Souls.
