Library Thing

Finally back blogging. Have added my books to Library Thing - find it an interesting tool in TalisPlus

but hadn't created a library before.

Have put some books I have read recently or bought recently!

Saw Neil Gaiman when he was in Hobart a couple of weeks ago (thank you Ellison Hawker) and was really impressed. An author who can talk as well as he can write. Took my 10 and 14 year olds as well which gives you an idea of the wide ranging audience he attracts (though mainly 20 something vaguely goth looking people). Really loved Coraline. Now reading Neverwhere.

I've included the mention of Storm Prophet by Hector Macdonald because I met him when he was in Darwin working on his next novel. He did an author session at Northern Territory Library and was very appreciative of the library staff which always goes down well! Storm Prophet is a fast-paced, exciting read with a strong female lead character - I can see the movie already!
