I’m having a house party!

house party

 

My first-born has just turned three — three years out there in the big book-loving world so I’m giving a copy away this week.

I had Monica Mc’s The House of Memories and The Island House by Posie Graeme-Evans as ‘house guests’ back in 2013, so it made sense to again have a house party to celebrate. (Although I dare say, if Monica, Posie and I were actually in a room celebrating there would not be tea!)

So…

 

Happy 3RD Birthday HFAS

Four women.

Four lives unravelled.

The truth will bind them forever.

#librarylove #freeandfair

Library Lovers 2016I’m a library lover. Are you?

Libraries are a place to connect. A place to feel connected.

Libraries are community and compassion – always with an ear to listen and a hand to hold.

Libraries don’t discriminate. They welcome diversity and discussion. If you walk into a library and you can’t read they’ll embrace you and admire you for your courage.

Libraries are free books – legally and morally speaking! Did you know an author receives a small payment every time someone borrows their book from a library? Borrowing a book from the library says thank you to the creator who spent 12 months writing those characters and making that book come to life. It’s free and it’s fair. #freeandfair

With council areas in some states amalgamating, and governments always looking to save money, your local library might be one of the first things to go. The way to save your local library is by frequenting it often. In doing so you’ll make your library an essential part of your community and you’ll be saying ‘thank you’ to an author and loving your local librarian.

This Saturday, February 14 is Library Lovers’ Day in Australia. Share the love.
