It's the best feeling when you can watch your friends spread their winds and take flight. I started reading Eleni's blog when I first started blogging at KylaRoma.com and when I heard that she was publishing her first book, I freaked out a little (in the happy way). A book? This is the blogging equivalent of when your friends start to have babies & buy houses! I can't believe that we're here- and I can't wait to share her work with you.
Why I love it:
Hope Dies Last: Lessons In Love is a gorgeous book to read. The way Eleni writes is delicious, and her book lets you step into that voice more than you can when checking in on a blog post. Hope Dies Last is Eleni's story of life as a single twenty something, trying to connect and explores the world of relationship from all sides, along with the roller coaster of feelings that come with it. In her own words, “I wanted intimacy in caps lock but I got it in parentheses”.
After I read it & was clearly rabid about her work, Eleni was kind enough to offer a copy to giveaway to my readers. A signed copy! And being an international lady, she made sure that anyone from anywhere in the world can enter.

The contest will be open until February 12th, and the winner will be notified by e-mail. It's also open to anyone, no matter where you live, because as a Canadian I know that's a big thing for the rest of us & Eleni agrees! If you'd like to buy your own copy, you can purchase it on Amazon or get to know Eleni the new old fashioned way, by reading her blog.
Good luck!
