That is correct, Kare! You’re a winner. Do you wish for a hard copy or an e-copy?
How awesome! I love the fact that you’re not JUST posting about the giveaway for Renee Ho’s “The Friendship Effect.” That would have been wonderful in and of itself.
Here are just a couple of things that I really like about and that you wrote about here. First, it’s clear that you Renee’s book and aren’t simply rubber stamping it. I like the fact that you shared “your” understanding of and what you took away, and what still resonates with you after having finished Renee’s book. I also feel a connection with Renee Ho because you made the time to let us know what you think about her as a writer, why she’s written what she has, and you’ve shared Renee Ho the woman in her own right with us.
Thank you Jordan.
