Real friends send me books.
#TrueFriends are people who stick with you not only when everything is going well, but also when things go wrong.
#TrueFriends even let you borrow their books and can be trusted not to crack the spines or fold over the pages.
A true friend accepts you for who you are.
A true friend is one who will be there for you no matter what and will forgive you every time you ask.
I enjoyed the #TrueFriends Authors! A great collection of #TrueFriends books that my granddaughter would love.
Thanks for sharing your joy and excitement!
