I got the chance to meet Terry Pratchett several imes over the years. Mostly it was book signings at bookshops, because I could never pass those up when it was Sir Terry. he's actually the first author I ever did that for--the launch of The Fifth Elephant while I was living in Bristol.

A day late again, but at least I'm doing it this week...

And Then He Kissed Her, a historical romance because I'm just in that place right now. Also, Longbourne by Jo Baker, which I've been meaning to read for ages and happened to be sitting on a shelf in the library the last time I visited. Clearly, it was meant to be ( Read more... )

What are you currently reading?
