Oh. My. God.

Okay, so I was watching some videoclips at Youtube with my youngest sister when I decided to check my gmail. I saw that someone by the name of Phillipa had dropped a comment, and my heart started to beat a little faster. Could it be...?? No, why would she?? I opened the email, screamed, and refreshed my blog. Screamed again. Yes!! It's her!!

"Her" would be Phillipa Ashley, the author of Wish You Were Here which I have just reviewed. Oh my god, I am still (pleasantly) shocked, stunned and definitely thrilled that she dropped me a comment, let alone the fact that she noticed that someone did a review of her book. I would like to extend my gratitude and a million thank-yous to Ms. Phillipa Ashley for making a reader happy. I know I probably sound like a demented and desperate fan, but I don't care. Nothing can spoil my day today! :-D

Updated Later:

A million thanks to Ms. Phillipa Ashley for putting the link to my blog review in her blog. Need I mention again how thrilled I am?? ;-)

Hey there

It's me - and I'm just a very ordinary person you know! Nothing - but nothing - thrills an author more than a real reader enjoying her books and if someone take sthe time to make anice comment, that's fantastic.

Happy reading!

Phillipa x

Hello. It's me again and I don;t want to crash your guys' blog party again but just wanted to say I haven't been to Malaysia but I'd love to. I've been to the USA and the Caribbean and Europe but never travelled east. There is so much of the world I'd like to see.

If any of you are on Facebook why not come and add the Little Black Dress authors as friends or join the LBD group? There are a lot of Malaysian LBD fans who drop by and say hello to us and chat to each other.

Hi Ms. Phillipa,

Don't worry, you're not crashing anything coz ur comments are always welcome! ;-) You've travelled quite a lot then. I've been to the UK back when I was a kid (I'm 22 yrs old now), and we lived in Loughborough. That's kind of far from Staffordshire, right? Do inform us (via your blog) if you're coming here.

Unfortunately, I'm not on Facebook...yet. Thanks for telling me though! I'll definitely do that when I join. :-)
