Hello,
Good morning. Are you sitting comfortably?
It's a Tuesday and life on the whole is bounding along at a delightfully fun pace. This blog is going to be a short and to the point. Basically, I want to share with you lovely people some of the fantastic reviews I've had for my book, This Thirtysomething Life. It honestly blows me away that the book is doing so well in the Amazon charts at the moment (number 24 as I write this), but what I really love is the reviews. People I don't know, living in places I have never visited, in houses I will probably never go in, read my book, love it and decide to write me a nice review on Amazon. It's heartwarming and makes me smile big unruly smiles. So, if you've written me a review or are thinking about it, thank you so much a million times over. Enjoy these. I know I did.
'A book to make you smile
I turned on my kindle and started to read and I must admit my first
thoughts were that this was going to be boring, soppy and sugary. How
wrong I was. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and every step of the way I
was relating and laughing along with the tale unfolding. As it says,
it is laugh out loud and I certainly did my fair share of this. An
excellent first book and I will be looking out for the next one! This
is a must read for any 30+ who wishes to find out that all his thoughts
and concerns in his life are shared by other men! read and learn from
the characters troubles and you will be all the better for it.'
'Pure genius and utter brilliance
I bought this on recommendation from a friend and I'm glad I did. I
read it from start to finish in one night, I hadn't planned on doing so
but I was glued to it! Such a great book. I laughed all the way through
it and cried tears of laughed, sadness and joy in the space of a few
hours. Jon Rance is one to watch and I hope his next book is just as
good.'
'Felt a bit naughty
I would never dream of picking up and reading someones diary so this
felt a bit naughty. I really found this an enjoyable read. I had tears
running down my face in parts. I read a few pages and sent a text to a
friend in hospital urging her to get this book to cheer herself up. I
sent her a 2nd text to tell her to wait until her stitches were removed
otherwise they might burst..... This really was a joy to read. There
were sad bits and hysterical bits. You could really feel for Harry in
parts and other parts you felt like slapping him for being silly. Whom amongst us has never been silly? The ending was as happy as we would
all wish for. I've never read a romantic comedy before so this was a
first. I will be looking for another Jon Rance I'm sure. One of the
many joys of owning a Kindle so many great books.'
These are just a small sample of the lovely reviews I've had recently. If you want to read more, pop along to Amazon and have a gander. Of course, there are a couple of not so great reviews - you know who you are Mrs Alison. J. Boler - but that's OK, not everyone will love it.
That's it for today. I'll write again soon. Any requests for themes for my next blog, please let me know. If you want to know anything about me, my writing or just something about the book, I'll be happy to oblige.
Until then,
Hugs,
Jon X
