Top five happenings with My BFF is an Alien!

Here's what I have been busy with and the top five happenings with My BFF is an Alien!

"Circuit breaker" measures have started off in Singapore a few days ago, which means that non-essential shops and services like bookshops and libraries have closed (though some may argue that books are essentials to them!). It's tough for local artistes and businesses who won't be able to sell our books or hold any launch events. But such measures are needed right now to curb the virus outbreak, so let's all play our part by staying home and being civil-minded and vigilant with hygiene, so we can all come out of this soon.

That said, our book marketing continues and I'm finding myself busy with online marketing more than ever (I'm thankful for social media especially at times like these!). So, here's what I've been busy with and also the top five happenings with My BFF is an Alien.

4) Book review from Bakchormeeboy.com

Bakchormeeboy.com reviews My BFF is an Alien! Here's an excerpt:

"Vivian Teo has a firm grasp over making slice of life stories relatable and accessible to younger readers, and introduces just enough sci-fi elements to still feel fresh. Coupled with the whimsical illustrations by Ng Min Min, My BFF Is An Alien is a simple but fun read, its final chapter especially powerful in its ability to evoke what it feels like to miss your best friend." 💕
