A Wry Wednesday

Arriving back on Earth after immersion in Planet Word. Not the computer program - the written stuff that appears in books. Perth Writer's festival blessed many - kids included - throughout the weekend. Margaret Atwood held us - and her host, Jennifer Byrne - in the gentle palm of her hand on Saturday night. Such restraint ['I'm kind' she said, with just a trace of her reputed needle. Loved it!

Jared Diamond, in jacket and red tie, looked the Californian professor, and matched well with a younger Tom Holland. Their latest books now line up with others on our shelf, awaiting their time. We have enough reading matter for a year or three.
Also liked (not in the Facebook sense) Madeleine Thein, Michelle de Kretser, Anna Heiss, and the drop-dead gorgeous, Anna Funder (who can also write rather well).

Back in my den, conversations take place with the book cover designer and publisher. We are getting there.

Have renamed the website.....WRY [Write, Read, Yarn].............Wadya reckon?

I heard a lot of great feedback about Perth Writer's festival. The kids have learned something new’ something that they can apply while they live and I am looking forward to attend the next year’s festival if they are going to have some. Actually. I can feel that this is a very chill post from you; wherein you don’t need to spend too much effort to please us. The fact that we knew that the festival was a huge success is already a pleasing idea for us!
