Because not only did she buy both book one and book two of my science fiction action/comedy novel seres, but she also got a copy of my charming children’s book: I Like Monkeys.
On top of that, she mailed me a letter saying, in part: ‘I Like Monkeys should be in every preschool and kindergarten program. How very sweet and thought-provoking! I’m not kidding either. I think I will volunteer to go to some schools in the area and read it for the kids.’
Well, how awesome is that? I am touched. I am honored. Thanks, Julie… now be a good minion and go to the link on my book page and type that same bit into the ‘review this book’ section…
Pouring My Art Out 
Why don’t you offer to do some readings at schools & libraries to boost sales of your book?
I’m busy… I am trying to recruit an army, not take on more tasks…
I asked my sister if I should get anything from New York for my niece when I’m there. Can you believe she never said anything about getting I Like Monkeys by Arthur Browne. How weird…
Instead she asked for an Elsa from Frozen costume from the Disney store. I have no idea what this is, but I’m not looking forward to visiting this Disney store thing. It doesn’t sound like my kind of shopping expedition – unless they have a bar inside then it is going to be hell.
You will hate it… despite all the sequins… HA!
They won’t do my size anyway
well, this is America… so don’t bet on that…
😀
yup
How old is your niece? A nice signed copy of “I like Monkeys” might be a good keepsake for her. Good Luck in the Disney store. Ask for help and go directly to the costume, and directly to the register. Those places can be very dangerous.
It costs too much to send my books to England… I am being held down by the man… the post man…
She’s just turned 4, perfect age to have Arthur’s mind influence her. How to get in in NYC though, I am in an apartment but I can;t get mail delivered there as owners will only have access to mail. Unless it is sent to another blogger who lives there and I go meet them to pick it up and get drunk.
A Disney Store Survival Guide is in order!
seems like in this day and age we should be able to get a book to New York… and get a decent high heeled pump in size 15 do go with a XXL Disney princess costume, dammit!!!
Hahaha!
Are you setting me a challenge?
ummmm….
“get a decent high heeled pump in size 15 do go with a XXL Disney princess costume”
ESPECIALLY IN NEW YORK!!!!!!
uh… really… you give California way too little credit…
no, I just meant that I believe that in NYC you can get anything you want, for a price.. I do not doubt for a NYC minute (ha! see what I did there?) that you can’t find size 15 pumps to go with a XXL Disney princess costume…
we have that here too
oops. I forgot the “in California” part….
right
Yes, I believe she is in the perfect age range! There seriously has to be a way to get it there for you! I am in Chicago, a bit of a ride out of New York, but I am pretty good at the getting drunk part…..
uh oh
no… you two can not meet and get drunk… the jealousy would kill me…
Chicago isn’t close enough to NYC. It IS closer than San Diego tho…..
You could meet hallway…
people always talk about people who meet in the hallway. We might as well take an elevator ride, or hang out in the coat room, if you know what I mean…
I’m not sure I do
I might email the owners and see if they will accept the delivery. It’s a bit cheeky but what the hell.
well you might as well get all three then, right? HA! Cheeky monkey bonus points!!!
Exactly!
wheeeeeee
I don’t think it is a bit cheeky at all. You aren’t staying there for free are you?? I mean it is hardly like asking them to make dinner deliveries for you every night you stay. You are simply inquiring if you could have a package mailed there. A package with a book in it, (or 3). There has got to be a way to get it to you……
I might just fly to San Diego for the day 😀
do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it… that would be so much cheaper than mailing some books…
hahaha, I looked, £212 return . Not the worst price, but at another 8 hours each way, that’s longer than London to New York!
You have one big ass country.
that is why our country has so many big asses
I’ll see for myself. I’ll run a survey when I’m there
oh my
They are Americans, right? They might be unreasonable…
That would prevent Arthur from getting jealous of us getting drunk together…..
…ooo000ooo…
And after visiting San Diego you might not want to go back to NYC.
true dat!
As soon as I figure out how to do a review, I will……
yay
All I did was purchase some books. I guess the fact that my daughter just landed her very first teaching gig has kept me a little more aware of learning. The Monkey book would be an excellent book for preschoolers and I would guess up to maybe 2nd grade. There are so many opportunities for discussion! Prompts to get them to think, and understand what is written!
Eventually I will get to the other 2 books, since apparently I will need the third in the series soon…
You have at least a few months till number three… and I did try to write the monkey book to make kids think about stuff… what makes us unique, what makes us the same, so on.
Ain’t that a good minnie! Now don’t suffocate her from too much warm hugs and pats.
Good job, Julie.
We are always careful not to smoother anyone… since the accident…
You are always careful to smother?
Right… smother… not smoother… that would be silly… I smother like no other…
Yeap. That time Trentle got waaaaayyyy too smooth… It wasn’t pretty…
he is slippery and hard to catch
I think that has more to do with the beaver oil…..
I sure hope so
