"Equal parts thrilled and nervous to announce my book tour for LIVE WIRE! this fall. A BOOK TOUR! Imagine that," Ripa wrote on Instagram. "I'll be joined by some riveting, not to mention sexy guests so head to the link in bio to learn more. Tickets go on sale Friday. Can't wait to see you." The post picked up nearly 20,000 likes and many excited comments from fans. It also stirred up conversation elsewhere on social media.
