Book Swap –The Return

I went to my second book swap at the Fire Station Arts Centre last night. There was a good turnout which meant lots of cake (I love Mrs. Scott’s macaroons!). The guest authors were Bronia Kita (The Swansong of Wilbur McCrum) and Aliya Whiteley (Light Reading). It is such a wonderful concept – the atmosphere is so friendly and the fact that most of the questions are not about writing means that you get to know more about the authors themselves. They both came across really well. I was interested in Bronia’s book and hope to get to read it once my dissertation is done and I can read non-MA related books again. It was good to know that Bronia had done an MA (Goldsmiths) so there may be hope for me yet and also that Aliya was published via the MacMillan New Writing.
