World Book Night 5th March 2011

 Last night at Hull Waterstone's we celebrated the world of books by speaking of books we had read  and authors we had known, read and loved. Amongst my favourites were Sarah Waters, always assured of a good read, ditto Tracy Chevalier, Kate Atkinson, Isabel Allende, and my absolute favourite series of books at the moment the Otori Trilogy by Lian Hearn.  Amongst the books given away were those by Margaret Attwood, David Mitchell, Alan Bennett, John le Carre et al; an excellent mix of contemporary and classical writing.  And for free! Hope you too were able to participate at your local bookstore.
