I had a wonderful time at the book launch for 'The Quiddity of Will Self' (see previous post). Thank you so much to Sam Mills for inviting me! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to chat to other authors, reviewers and publishers.
Before the event I spent a few hours wandering around trying not to get too lost in London. In this brief time I discovered - that it's a bad idea to stop and tie your shoelace while walking through the underground tunnels, that London is too busy to successfully write and walk at the same time and that I tend to walk in the opposite direction to everyone else... I did however find some refuge by tucking myself into a corner where I could happily scribble away accompanied by the music of a nearby busker.
At the launch I met some of Sam's publishing team from
Constable & Robinson. Luckily they liked my review and have agreed to send me more books to review! Yay! I believe first on the list will be
'The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making' by Catherynne M. Valente, which is due for publication 7th June. Judging by the title and
blurb it looks set to be a good read!
So, there will be be future reviews appearing here. In the meantime, my review of '
Paper Town' by John Green is currently on the
Milton Keynes Library Website.
While I'm here - a quick reminder that it is
World Book Night tomorrow! Enjoy!
