Hello

It's a new month and a new theme again. October is the month of "Word of mouth" celebrating storytelling, reading out loud and live literature - which is why we're holding our readers festival this month.  Tickets are selling fast but there are some still available if you want a chance to meet and talk with Sophie Hannah, RJ Ellory, Anne Zouroudi, Denise Mina, Karen Maitland and Lionel Shriver. (Full details here).

There are also storytelling events going on in schools and playgroups and you could join in by doing some live storytelling of your own. Why not get together with family and friends to read aloud passages for your favourite books, or short stories. You might feel a bit daft at first, but trust me it's great fun (especially if you are reading to children and do all the voices!)

Let me know how you get on!
