Yay! I love your book! It’s so YOU! Also, you are not doing BlogEngage? I took the button off because I couldn’t find a way to make it like up correctly. Sigh. (Sorry, off-topic.) But I do love your book!
Heather Kephart hopes you will read…Interview: DiTesco of iBlogZone
@Heather Kephart, I AM doing BlogEngage – thanks to you and other friends, I gave in and signed up. I noticed yours wasn’t working right, but I don’t know enough about it to even guess why. I’d uninstall completely and reinstall it.
The book is a good prize for readers. good luck Holly and Irma on your book tour.
@Jena Isle, thanks! Looks like it may be an easy win for someone – the odds are good for those who’ve entered so far.
Wow! That is a great price Holly.
Goodluck for the book tour….hope that your book will end up on top of the best-selling list
elmot hopes you will read…A Meaningful Existence for Filipinos
@elmot, me too! Thanks.
Hi Irma! I am glad that you’ve visited my blog and thanks for reminding me.
I’m in! By the way tell Ms. Holly that I blog about your book tour “A Puppy, Not a Guppy” and link back other blogs as well that you and your guppies have visited. Done writing a short Alexa review “I Am Inspired,” and the following questions for:
Holly Jahangiri
With all the books and stories you?ve written and published, which of them is your favorite and of the less? And how do you write effective stories?
Irma of A Puppy, Not a Guppy
What do you feel that your story is now a reality? And if your mom and dad agree now to have you a puppy, what breed you want and what about the guppies do you still love them if ever?
and, “What kind of pet do you like best, and why?”
I want a pet cat because they are so lovely, humble and mild. I do still remember my cat; she knows how to ?mano po? (A tradition here in Philippines, ?mano? literally means hand and the ?po? is a communal speech denoting a universal Filipino notion of respect.) and “pupu” poop. I miss her so much but now I don?t have a pet cat but of two feeders and six shubunkin fish. If you want to see them here’s the photo permalink [http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=8974&id=1790905259&l=e8f3c80924].
Thanks Irma! Till there.
