The Asphalt Warrior Series by Gary Reilly

I read Gary Reilly’s The Heart of Darkness Club last year and I really liked it. Reilly’s writing style and language is smooth, clever and quite entertaining. I would’ve liked to review the other books in The Asphalt Warrior Series, but I just don’t have the time. Hopefully though I’ll get a hold of the books in the not so distant future. :)

In the meantime, please read about the newly-released books in the series: Dr. Lovebeads and Home For The Holidays. Also, you might want to check out the other tour stops and enter the giveaways!

Having said that, welcome to the official blog tour for The Last Enchanter, Book II of The Celestine Chronicles, a fun-filled fantasy adventure series for middle grade readers. I read and reviewed Book 1 last time and I quite enjoyed it so I was pretty excited to read this book.

Hey, bloggers! Join this blog tour with over $800 blogger prizes!

Hey, friends! Are you up for receiving two free eBooks and competing for over $800 in prizes? It’s really easy.

Novel Publicity is currently recruiting for one of their gigantic whirlwind tours. This time, they’re touring two books by David Litwack. The first, Along the Watchtower, is a work of contemporary fiction with a fantasy bent. The second, There Comes a Prophet, is a YA dystopian that follows in the proud tradition of such classics as 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. Sounds very conspiracy-theory. Makes me think one or two of the characters would be wearing some sort of secret society masonic jewelry type things. Anyway, you review one book, both books, or neither! That’s right, you don’t even have to read the books to participate–although that’s definitely an option. Novel Publicity will provide your choice of a pre-formatted excerpt, interview, or guest post to make participation easy.
