~~CLOSED~~
Hi everybody! Exciting news! Author Brian Cohen is gracious enough to offer a giveaway of a signed copy of The Life O'Reilly to a lucky reader of Darlyn & Books! Here's the excerpt of my review of the book;
The Life O’Reilly is a love story filled with drama and emotions. It is very well-written, compelling, beautifully told and left such a warm feeling at the end of the story which I really like. It gives me more than I what need rather than a light read because it serves everything for you to think about love, sadness, sharing, giving and most important of how to enjoy life that we have now. It some kind of a motivation for me. I was amazed reading the book, and still am. I think I have found another great author as good as Nicholas Sparks!You can read my full review here.

ReplyDeleteOkay, so this is what I found on a blog. I can't actually remember which one, but I always tell it to my nieces.
'When you walk, don't look at the ground, but always keep your head up, because then your crown can't fall off.' I always say this in dutch, so I hope it's a good translation.

Be not afraid of moving slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
It inspires me when I'm feeling unmotivated and like things aren't happening quickly enough in my life :) I think it's a Chinese proverb.
