I have so much UK news that I decided to stash it all in one place. This is it: everything I know about my UK tour and all the special editions. I AM SO EXCITED.
THE TOUR: I’m on my way.
This is my first UK tour, and I’m covering a lot of ground. Most of these events are ticketed. (All but Cardiff.) You can buy tickets from the stores themselves or from the Waterstones Web site.
Some of the events are sold out, but you can still pre-order signed books from these shops.
You can bring books from home to the event. I think I’m limiting it to four books per person.

ALSO, THERE ARE BOOKS.
All four of my books are available in the UK, and three will be available in new or special editions. If you don’t live in the UK, but you really want one of those editions, people seem to have good luck with Waterstones and the Book Depository.
FANGIRL
Macmillan’s special edition of Fangirl has so many bells and whistles, I’m almost disappointed it’s not scratch-n-sniff. (IMAGINE. PUMPKIN MOCHA LATTE.)
It’s a hardback with a reversed-colors dust jacket. Inside the dust jacket is an exclusive poster by cover artist Noelle Stevenson:
The hardcover case is mint green with Simon and Baz embossed in raspberry pink foil, and — this might be my favorite part — there’s a yellow ribbon bookmark!
And how about this necklace:
There’s also a limited edition Fangirl necklace from very cool UK jewelry designer Tatty Devine.
You can order this necklace online, but not for long. (I think it’s only available for a month or so. I’ll check on that.) Tatty Devine ships worldwide.
You can also win a sparkly version of the necklace if you’re coming to one of my UK events.

LANDLINE
Landline comes out in the UK on July 3, 21014 — a few days before the U.S. It’s a mini hardback, and the cover and case are so cool:
You can read samples — and enter to win signed copies and a retro yellow phone — on waterstones.com.
ELEANOR & PARK
A paperback special edition of Eleanor & Park will be released July 7. What makes it special? An essay You have your choice of two covers, the original UK look:
Or a cover that’s more like the U.S. cover:
