Gita Audhya Hello David: I would love it if you enter my book giveaway. I am very eager to know if my book All those tears we cant see is worthy.

In Indiereader.com C.S Holmes recognized it as Literary fiction (4 star), Great reviewer Becky Holland gave me a remarkable review and so on. https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh.... Thanks. Your Friend Gita
