Hi all. Hope you had a good summer and that it was better than mine. I was ill with Covid for most of it but managed to be well enough to go on holiday in Croatia. Lots of other stuff happened too but I’ll save that for a future post.
I want to tell you now about some events that are coming up this term. This Thursday, 21st September, is proving to be a popular date for all things bookish! There are lots of things on but one I want to highlight is an event at Wimbledon Waterstones. It’s great to have things happening so close to me. Graham Bartlett and Kia Abdullah will be in conversation with Craig Sisterson at 6.30pm. You can buy your tickets here.
Autumn is book festival season and I’m really proud to be taking part in Wimbledon Bookfest this year. I’ll be interviewing Janice Hallett on Saturday 21st October at 4pm. The good news is this year the festival isn’t in a tent! We’re in the very dry spaces of Wimbledon High School, Wimbledon Theatre and Wimbledon Library. It runs from the 12th-22nd October and includes two of my favourite authors, Alexander McCall Smith and Philippa Gregory. Full details and tickets can be found here.
Save the date! On Monday 20th November at 7.30pm, at West Barnes Library, I’ll be chatting to AA Chaudhuri and Jacqueline Sutherland about their latest books. More news on that soon!
