Thanks Avril - I thoroughly enjoyed last night. I'd forgotten how enjoyable and invigorating chairing book events are as it's been a while. And we're SO lucky to have Collected Books in Durham. Usually if I call into Waterstones I see very little that really ignites my enthusiasm, but last night before your event, I saw at least a dozen intriguing books on their shelves that I wanted to dive into. I need a return visit soon.

Thanks Caroline, I thoroughly enjoyed it too, having thought it might be a bit of an ordeal. But no, it was as you say invigorating- down in no small measure to you and your consummate chairing- so nice to see so many lovely people there and to have such great questions.Collected Books has undoubtedly changed the landscape for writers like me. And without doubt for readers x
