    Finoy Foodies - June Book Discussion

    See you all
    on June 20, 2009. Saturday. 2PM
    at Katre Mediterranean Restaurant, 103 Dr. Lascano St. Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City

    The easiest way, Jenny, to find "Moments of Forever" is to visit the online bookstore of my publisher (www.iuniverse.com) they provide for international shipping and they also have a convenient downloadable e-book version of my book there. Amazon.com also carries my book as-well-as all most every other online bookseller. Hope this helps you find it. Thanks again, for your interest!

    Dr. Bill R. Path says

    Thank you for accepting my friendship request, Jenny. As one of my Shelfari friends, I would like to invite you to be among the first readers to review my new book "Moments of Forever: Discovering the True Power and Importance of Your Life" (a registered Shelfari title). It is a practical study in metaphysics that will help you find greater meaning in your life. It has been available for just a few weeks but it has already gained much acclaim within the large iUniverse publishing house—receiving the “Editor’s Choice” award and being honored as a “Rising Star” title. “Moments of Forever” is a book that will benefit and enrich the lives of people for many years to come. Please help me launch this very special book with your personal Shelfari review.

    Thank you!

    Hi Jenny Jenny,
    My name is Scott Pratt. I'm from Tennessee in the U.S. and my first novel - a legal thriller called "An Innocent Client" was just published by Penguin on Nov. 4. I noticed that you are interested in thrillers and I think you might like this book. It's a mass market paperback - only $7.99 - and you can order it online through dozens of sights. I was hoping you might read it and if you like it, let your friends know. I'd also love to hear what you think. I could also use a friend on Shelfari, if you are interested. Thanks so much, Scott **By the way, my website is www.scottprattfiction.com - you can read the first chapter there and see if you'd like to read the book.

    Hi Jenny... Sorry but I gave you the wrong author of "Guilty", it is by Karen Robards. I just finished a book by Lisa Gardner called "Alone" and that was on my mind...sorry about that! Have a good week!
