UK Book Bloggers Meet Up

One of the most unexpected, but actually the most gratifying, things that has come directly from running a blog (and Other Stories has just passed its third blogular anniversary) is the sense of community amongst book bloggers the world over. There are so many people I am now in regular email contact with because of the blog, and I couldn’t be more delighted.

With that in mind, Simon T of Stuck in a Book recently proposed a UK book bloggers meet up, so that a gang of us blog types could get together and meet IRL (as the techy bods say) and chew the literary cud without the aid of little 1s and 0s.

Of course, I jumped at the chance, and now I’m spreading the word. We are meeting in London on Saturday 8 May! For more detailed information, please email Simon, and he’ll give you the low down.

It would be lovely to see more bloggers in person, and there will also be a book swap, so come prepared to foist a copy of something (new, old, second hand, it doesn’t matter) you love onto someone else. At the very least you’ll come away with something new to read on the train home.

  2. I will be there in spirit, even if I am half a world away. Have a great time. Kevin

  3. I shall be there, am looking forward to it.

    That picture of the cat has made me laugh and laugh.

  4. I’m hoping to be there. Maybe we should start early and get the train down together … although I’ll be getting on at Didcot.

  5. Thanks for spreading the word!

    Oh, and I NEED TO OWN that cat.
