Happy Book Birthday! Weeee!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that Don't Breathe a Word is out today so everyone can read it now and know how great it is. I read it several months ago for the Teen Book Scene tour and it still sticks with me now and that is telling for a book for me since I read over 200 books a year. When I can remember characters, scenes and dialog from a book then it is a real winner - so if you haven't read it - go out and buy Don't Breathe a Word - it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm so excited to finally be able to share DBAW with my teens at the library--it's really a phenomenal book, with incredible characters and a fantastic setting!
ReplyDeleteHappy book birthday!
What leaves me breathless? This may sound strange, but random acts of kindness! lol They make me so giddily happy!
ReplyDeleteDon't Breathe a Word was AMAZING!!! It literally took my breath away. Congrats on the major acomplishment!
Congratulations on a great page-turner! I did a little guerilla marketing at Woodinville B&N last night! Took the 3 spine-out copies I found and distributed them cover-out to 3 different end caps. May they find good homes!

ReplyDeleteHAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY! And What a fun video! I really liked the music in the back ground. Seattle is a city I've always wanted to visit, I'll get there someday...
ReplyDeleteYOU leave me breathless, dear! And I can't wait to read your newest book because I absolutely tore through TMAS! Love you!

ReplyDeleteThank you thank you! What a day. I feel like I'm getting a big hug from all of you!
ReplyDeleteTell Me a Secret was one of my favorite reads of 2011. I'm excited for Don't Breathe a Word because I am such a huge fan of TMAS and know DBAW will be just as incredible, maybe even more so. Congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Book Birthday!!!! Can't wait to get DBAW!!!! So Happy for you! :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you Holly, Happy book birthday. You deserve the best... love you sis..
ReplyDeleteI am your friend on FB, Twitter and blogger! : )
ReplyDeleteLooked at the illustrated version, which is gorgeous and then went back to my ARC. I only have 100 pages left. Boo. This is one for the re-read shelf, Holly, an amazing accomplishment.
I want to cheat and say DBaW leaves me breathless, but I won't. I'll say writing, myself leaves me that way, because like you and your novel, my novel and I are connected at places close to the heart.
Merry Happy Book Birthday! I hope you get the dream house!
Blessings,
G.C.
Happy birthday to Joy,
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Triste,
Happy book release to Holly,
Happy birthday to Breathe!

Oooh, is the full graphic novel available? If not now, when? :)
Congratulations, Holly! It's a big, big day! :)

ReplyDeletecongratulations, Holly!! The world is buzzing about this.... And I cannot wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteHow fun, Holly! This is such a great book birthday party. Congratulations and hugs! :) :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, friends! I'm so happy to welcome you, and thank you for your support of me and my books. You are wonderful! <3
ReplyDeleteI really wish the playlist dudes would let internationals play the playlists too. I'll definitely be on Youtube checking out each song I don't know of. I love the graphic novel rendition! Very, very cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late, but still, happy book birthday! I'm itching to start reading this, but maybe I'll quickly re-read TMAS beforehand. Refamiliarise myself with the characters.
Thank you, Cass! I'm glad you stopped by, all the way from Australia! Ooh, and I hope you love the songs. I think a lot of them are on youtube.
