Absolutely loving that cover in every way, Lani. It's actually perfect and therefore an accurate reflection of what's inside :) Remember I've been saying this all along xo

You have, and I thank you. It’s been a real journey. I’m glad I did it here to test the waters and to give myself confidence. xoxo

Absolutely love the cover! And I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the Misfortune Cookie posts - can't believe that it's been over two years since the Bingo card.

And happy birthday to you 🎉

I like the cover and loved all the writing. The latter will thrive I'm sure in whatever physical/digital form you choose to give it.

Thanks so much, Jeffrey. I’m honored that you came along for the journey.

I LOVE that cover. Please, yes, and thank you I really want to hold your book in my hands. I still have chapters to read. I'll pay, we'll all pay! We're just old fashioned and want the paper! Hope you're well. Exciting about your visitors. Enjoy your birthday. You're amazing and deserve all the cake, or whatever other goodie you prefer. Happiest!!

Happy birthday Lani! The few chapters that I read since I subscribed to you were a joy to read. Looking forward to circling back to read the rest of them!

Happy birthday 🥳 love the book cover design

Love the cover! Did you design it yourself?

Lani V. Cox's avatar

Sort of, the cover has been lots of trial and error running it through various AI programs. My husband works with these things and is a Photoshop expert, so we plan on tweaking things out. Also, you have to feed the programs what you want. So, for example, we knew we wanted a 60s and 70s SEA music cover vibe, so I gave it images to work with (obv there's a photo) — and thanks for the feedback!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Lani … 🥳🥳🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! (I hope you like my singing! lol)

Oh and I am so looking forward to getting your book and feel it in my hands while I (re)read and laugh!

Lani V. Cox's avatar

Awww, thanks, Yi. That's kind of you to say (about the book). And yes to HBD's! I do like your singing, actually. 😅😘

Lani, I’ve been reading your amazing memoir stories for almost a year now and have enjoyed them immensely. This might sound a little odd, but I’m not going back to reread anything ... I’m actually looking forward to ordering the book and being pleasantly surprised by all the chapters I’ve missed.

Congratulations and birthday blessings again and again! For what you’ve created is turning into a spectacular book ... and it’s been such a joy to follow along as it’s taken shape. I love, love, love the front cover, knowing this is you and your (in)famous mom! 🙏💖😁

Lani V. Cox's avatar

Thank you, Deborah! The book journey has taken some interesting turns, so I’m motivated to get it out there in a more proper form. I so appreciate your support and words.

Thanks for chiming in on the book cover. It’s been through MANY iterations and it feels like it’s finally come together. Much love back 😍🥰😘

Deborah Gregory's avatar

Aww, reading and listening to you all these months has been such a pleasure! And what’s even more fabulous is knowing I’ll be reading chapters I don’t already know.

As soon as I saw the cover … I was like 😍😍😍

I’m so excited for you Lani and can't wait to hold your memoir in my hands. 🥰💖🙏

Lani V. Cox's avatar

Thank you, Deborah! You’re the best! Wrapping myself up in all your encouragement! 🙂
