I was told, last night, by the lovely folks at the library where I run my writing group that the event we/they put on for World Book Day (I blogged about it here here and here) raised the most money in the area for Book Aid.

World Book Day Raffle Winners
Right. Good. Just got back from the library (via a cafe to do some proofing) and I now have all the World Bood Day raffle books people who entered over the internet won. They should be posted by the end of the week.
World Book Day
Today’s World Book Day event was a success. And it was enjoyable. We had a decent turnout for the reading, which was good. And they all seemed to like my stories and the one, written for World Book Day here in the north west, by Zoe Lambert.
Great Support and Remaining Cheery
The publicity and posters and listings and stuff for the local festival are all out. Which is good for raising awareness and promoting the festival and the great people coming here to read and perform.
# 502
Well, my 500th post here slipped by without me noticing and, as a result, with nothing to mark it, which is kind of a shame. 500 posts, eh? Two and a half years. Yikes. Where did that go – and how much has happened in that time? Lots and lots.

World Book Day Raffle Books List
Here’s a list (really, for the benefit of those who might be interested in buying a ticket) of all the books I’ve received for the World Book Day/Book Aid raffle – and above is a pic of how I’ve arranged them. Not quite as impressive as L’s classroom displays but I have, I feel, done myself proud.

Turn on, Tune in
So, tomorrow, from about quarter to twelve I will be on radio (you can listen online here). This is a first for me so it’ll definitely be interesting and hopefully fun too. Here’s hoping. I’ll be talking generally about writing and what I do and what I’m doing for World Book Day and Book Aid and things.
