National Book Shop Day

August 20, 2011 by Jacqueline Harvey Leave a Comment

Hello Friends,

I hope you’re having a good weekend. My best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey has had a really busy day visiting four fabulous bookshops for the first ever National Bookshop Day. At 9am she headed to Lindfield Bookshop where she met quite a few gorgeous little girls who are great friends of mine. Then at 11am she was at The Children’s Bookshop in Beecroft which was really buzzing with loads of children and fantastic authors, John Larkin, Belinda Murrell, RA Spratt, Christopher Cheng and the amazing illustrator Sarah Davis. From there she managed to stop for a lovely lunch hosted by the Random House publicist Dorothy, who is a superstar! Then Dorothy and Jacqueline drove over to Shearer’s Bookshop at Leichardt where Barbara and Tony were having a day full of visiting authors. Jacqueline got to answer some questions about my stories and also unveiled her name on the wall of authors. She had hoped to meet Ray Martin but he couldn’t come (she suggested I should try and solve that mystery, which Barbara thought was a good idea). Lastly Jacqueline headed over to Better Read Than Dead in Newtown where she met some very enthusiastic little girls who love my stories. I think she needs to have a big rest tonight! I hope you had a great National Bookshop Day and I’m sure that it’s an event that will just get bigger and bigger. Reading is one of my most favourite things to do – and writing too. I hope you’re reading something fun.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Lots of love,

This is Ffion – one of my friends and I know she made my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey smile!
