Things Like This Make Me Happy

Posted by in Not So Perfect, people being nice, Sara Crowley, Sharing stuff

≈ 4 Comments

I am a big believer in sharing. I like the idea of sharing good stuff, of helping to spread the good word of good literature. That kind of thing. And I try to do it on here, as much as I can. (This blog isn’t always only about me, I hope!)

That’s why seeing this kind of thing makes me happy. Not just because MY book’s on there, but because it’s on there with others, for people to see. A big thank you to top bookseller and brilliant writer (and, no, I’m not just saying that – it is very much true) Sara Crowley for taking the time to do things like this and also for posting pics like this one… (She didn’t have to, you know.)

It’s been a mixed couple of days to be honest. I’ve been a bit under the weather (amongst other things) but seeing what Sara Crowley said about Not So Perfect yesterday cheered me up no end, mostly because I love her work.

And then I noticed that I’d made it onto the top ten books of the year so far at Book Chase, which made me happy too. Being mentioned in the same list as people like Joyce Carol Oates and Tracy Chevalier is both an honour and an utter thrill. (You can read the original review here.)

And tomorrow I’ll be playing a word association game with Tania Hershman (whose cat has my very best wishes).

The ever lovely and clever Caroline Smailes talking about Twitter here.

The also lovely and talented Annie Clarkson talking about Waterstone’s and short fiction here.
And the also, also lovely and talented Sara Crowley, taking about Olive Kitteridge here. (I think this is my favourite because she says I’m right.)

And did anyone else stay up late to watch the shooting starts over the past couple of nights? I did. Last night. And what I saw, while not spectacular, was pretty special and rather lovely. Seeing the unnusual’s brilliant, I reckon.
