I have foudn some great books through recommendations of the Writers Festival. Recently I read The SInking which I heard about at the 2009 festival when the author discussed it in a section about .... hmm..... can't remember she was interesting and the book is great.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago I read Every Secret Thing by marie Munkara, an Aboriginal writer that I heard speak at the writers festival last year, and the book was amazing. <br /><br />Thank goodness for writers festivals!Rebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-3818981925984940002011-02-20T07:14:47.660-08:002011-02-20T07:14:47.660-08:00Isn't it amazing?
