Happy Birthday Dianne + Giveaway Event!

As the title says, November 3rd is the birthday of a dear friend of mine, Dianne from @ Oops I Read a Book Again! She is one of the most awesome bloggers on the face the planet. Graduating from the same university at the same time, we more or less had the same background and with our love for books, I just found her to be the sister I never had. A dependable multi-tasker, blogger, blog tour coordinator and professional mad scientist (she studied Molecular Microbiology), she now sends out waves of love with her event (and lotsa giveaways). So drop by on her blog and greet her:

My message:

Happy Birthday, girlie! I know it gets hard to talk these days what with us living in different "time zones" but I just wanted to thank you for everything. You're the best listener and commenter and adviser and second-thought-checker. I love how you send out emails and tweets with !!!!! You're an enthusiastic and charming person. You deserve all the awesome in the world. Can't wait to email you 30 seconds after this. Happy birthday and lots of love!

Dianne:
Well first and foremost happy birthday and congratulations for having a super successful book blog. I am so happy to become part of your blog tours.

I'd like to thank you for being the most cheerful friend that I had and most specially, I'll never forget that I am your "plus one" on Tahereh Mafi's signing event. I'll cherish it for the rest of my bookish life.

I wish you all the best in your career and good health. May God continue to bless with such wonderful things. I am just so happy that I met you.
