I was at a Book Fair local to me recently and it was great fun. As well as celebrating books, it was fantastic to meet other authors and readers.
There was a good range of books on offer too covering a wide range of tastes which is exactly what you want from an event like this. (The organisers also kept the writers well supplied with tea and coffee, which was also appreciated!).
Going to events like this is a fabulous way of supporting authors you know, as well as discovering writers new to you.
It’s a way of bringing books to you, especially if your nearest bookshop is some distance away. I hope the organisers of this event do it again. It would be lovely if it became a regular event.
If you get the chance to go to such things near you, do go. You may well be surprised at the range of books on offer.
Every book event I’ve been to has been seriously impressive here.
