message 2: by John

John Hanley Hi Jill, thanks for the message. I'm stuck on the book promotion merry-go-round at the moment and getting dizzier by the minute. When I've recovered my balance I'll have a look at your likes and recommend something. I've still got over one hundred books on my read database I haven't entered yet! If it was allowed, I'd recommend my own novel but as it isn't, I won't!
All the best
John

Jill Thanks for your friendship here on Goodreads, John. I look forward to reading your recommendations.
