Thanks for being my friend and it's ok if i didn't win the book lol
Dear Micheal,I would like to thank you for your friendship here on Goodreads, which is a fantastic site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people both authors and readers. Your book sounds so amazing and i would love to have the oportunity of reading & reviewing it.
As an amateur writer myself currently working on my first novel & someone whom loves to read, i am more than happy to try and help authors as much as possible in promoting thier work & spreading the word.
Thank you x
