Besides all the copies
frantically bought by Marko*, the rest of the sales (all 3 of them) have been
bought by my friends.
My friend Janine, or
let me say My Best Friend Janine (because she has bought and actually read my
book) has posted a lovely note about the book on her blog.
I love Janine. Much more than Melany or Belinda. Especially Belinda. I don’t think I like her at all. EX friend. I wont even link to her blog because she NEVER updates it.
I just got another
call from my friend Linde to tell me she has bought a copy. She said, “I have only just read the
acknowledgements and I am already crying”
And then a note from a
guy I used to work with, who was my other sale:
It made me laugh, it made me very sad, it made me cry (just a little -
it's a guy thing), it made me happy, it reminded me
I love my
friends.
Happy sigh.
*Tomorrow I will
posting an update on how far Marko has got in the book, whether we are still
speaking, and in addition, I will be doing a poll to see whether you can guess
what was the one book he managed to read.
Sobbing. Tertia I am DYING to read your book dammit. I too will write long, lovely notes just like my lovely sister who is RAVING about your book. You are so divine and clever and gorgeous. I love you soooo much. Don't leave me! Sob..,

Well I had planned on spending a lazy day at home tomorrow but apparently I'm going shopping for a book :-)

I'd do your new poll, but you don't have a "Daliesque" option.
(for when your boobs go from perky to melting off your chest =P)

I am sure that I am simply dense and scatterbrained but where, how, when can we get your book? I love you to pieces and would love to read it. So if you have a heart please tell me. :)
Love,
Me

Good dear god, they've blocked you at my work, so I'll only be able to chat (two way) every so often.
Congrats on the book. Take a deep breath and enjoy the view, its quite an accomplishment.

I'm actually ordering your book right now. (Live in the platteland = having to order through kalahari.) I hope I get it before you publish your second!
