Tonight I'm going to
Damian Barr's Literary Salon at
Shoreditch House, which this month features
Molly Parkin,
Immodesty Blaize and
Rupert Thomson. RT's first book,
Dreams of Leaving, which I read many years ago when it was first published, is on my list of 'books I love'.
The
Book Club Boutique, run by Salena Godden and Rachel Rayner, has been touring the various festivals this summer and returns to its winter home at
The House of St Barnabus on Friday 8th October. Book Club Boutique is a monthly event featuring readings, poetry and music. It starts at 7pm and it's £7 on the door or £5 to BCB members. The line-up has yet to be announced but it's always good fun and I'm looking forward to it.
The Liars' League will be celebrating their 40th event in the cellar of the
Phoenix pub with a special 'Dark and Stormy night' on Tuesday 12th October, which promises five spooky stories read by professional actors, a literary quiz, a mini-Bulwer-Lytton contest for the worst opening line of a story, Happy Hour prices on wine all night, and the chance to win all six books on the Man Booker shortlist on the night the results are announced. It's £5 on the door and starts at 7.30 pm. Sounds fantastic, doesn't it! See you there

There are so many reasons I wish I still lived in London. Some of them are in this post. Still, I'm enjoying the lack of plane noise bursting my eardrums every 5 minutes, so that's something.
Come and visit!
Helen, Are your books available at Barnes & Noble or Borders?
Hello, JP
Yes:
Alison Wonderland at Barnes & Noble
Being Light at Barnes & Noble
The search facility on the Borders site is down at the moment so I can't check if they're there.
They're available from the Book Depository - both paperback and ebook.
