Tap & Gown Release Day Party!

Tap & Gown is out today! (or, a few days ago, if you’re one of those folks that stopped into a bookstore and found it on the shelves). Yay! I’ve been feeling so nostalgic about this series, getting all teary eyed when I flip through the pages of this last volume and stacking up all four books on a table to see how tall the entire story is.

I’m such a sap. 🙂

Let’s have a party! First off, I want to thank Lell for this awesome fanvid. Check it out! The music is utterly epic, but the coolest part to me is that it focuses on the actual text — on all those cool keywords that get repeated over and over in the story. I don’t think she missed a single one. (You got it: more tears!)

Isn’t that amazing?

Okay, the spoiler thread is up, so if you’ve read the book, come and comment! [PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE SPOILERS IN THIS POST. USE THE SPOILER THREAD.]

And now, for the celebration, we’re going to play a party game. It’s called TAP & GOWN In The Wild. To play, all you have to do is send me a picture (or link to a picture in the comments thread) of TAP & GOWN — you guessed it — in the wild. If you do, I will send you a special Secret Society Girl prize pack, which is unfortunately unpictured at the moment, as I seem to have misplaced my camera’s computer cord, but trust me, it’s cool.

Now, pictures on bookstore shelves are perfectly acceptable wildlife photos, but I will put an extra something in your prize pack if your wildlife photo is of a more creative nature. Say, TAP & GOWN in the arms of an adorable kitten, or eating an ice cream sundae, or hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Go forth and photograph!
