I thought I’d share some bookish stuff which is happening this month.
3/08 Percy Shelley’s Birthday is today 1792-1822)- Happy 220th
Percy!
9/08 Throne of Glass
by Sarah J Maas released today.
14/08 The Forsaken by Lisa Stasse released
15/08 Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was born today in
Edinburgh- he wrote Ivanhoe and Rob Roy but that’s not all!
18-19/08 Mudgee Readers Festival- definitely on my list to
do one day and if anyone goes please let me know what it’s like. Looks like an excellent line up of speakers and there's a secondhand book fair!
25/08 The Reading Hour at 6pm a bit like Earth Hour but hopefully with more
light.
26/08 Hannah & Emil by Belinda Castle, new release
today.
27/08 National Literacy and Numeracy Week starts.
30/08 Mary Shelley’s birthday (1797-1851) is today. She
wrote and published Frankenstein at the age of 21 and was married to Percy
Shelley.
Finally RIP to these authors:
