That is cool, but why can't they do it in the UK? The books are set in Britain. I hope Bloomsbury decide to do a tour here :D I will go if they come to Bham!

I think this bus is so cool. That is such a creative way to get people into the debut of the last book. I am excited that the bus is coming to Cleveland, that isn't to far from me, I hope I can get up there. Very good way to get the fans involved:)

Awesome! But I am a little confused about the venues. It looks as if the bus will be at two different libraries at the same time. I hope so, because I want to go to the one at NYC public library.

Dang! I'm just a little too far south. No stops in south carolina, or any of the surrounding states (except virginia, which would be a 9 hour drive). How sad.

I don't see how they can say they are trying to reach as many fans as possible when there isn't one city on the schedule that's in the south like say Atlanta.

I'm a little sad that there won't be any closer to where I am. Oh well, I suppose that's life. It's what happens when you don't live near a major city.
