A question about where to find a master list of these who do book tours was asked recently in a Facebook group (Kidlit411). I wondered the same myself and went looking. I found about four review resources, which I shared. Then someone jokingly said I should make a list.
So, I did more research and made a list of lists!
(Do I personally recommend all these? No. I’ve just gathered the info in one place. If I noticed a date on when it was created, I added the year—some titles had the year in the title. Please do your own research.)
