Little Launch of Two Writers

-
The moment I've been waiting for has arrived. I am finally meeting the author of 'Little Hut of Leaping Fishes' Chiew-Siah Tei. Her book, 'Little Hut of Leaping Fishes' was officially launched at the British Council, Kuala Lumpur yesterday. It was the first time that the British Council and book distributors Pansing had worked in partnership to organise this event. Regrettably, I wasn't able to make it. I was held up at another interview. Sigh...

Anyway, thanks to my dear friend, Kavita from Pansing, I am able to catch up with Tei and have a one-on-one interview with her at One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya, TODAY! And with this too, I'm finally launching www.hookedonbookz.blogspot, officially!

I really can't wait to meet up with her. And what's more interesting is, she and I both come from the same hometown - Negeri Sembilan! I hope we'll all have a good time. Kavita, thanks loads!

Here's one of the many pics taken at the launch:

Dear bookaholics, If you were wondering why this bookaholic is no longer putting up her usual book reviews and interesting bookish finds, and only updates her blog with events, well, it's because I'm very tied up with something else right now. However, it'll end very soon...and my book reviews will be up again in July :) I'm looking forward to it as I REALLY REALLY MISS READING!!!! If you have found any good reads recently, please feel free to post your recommendations here or drop me an email :) Till then, keep reading!! (image from google images)

World Book Day: When, Why and Wow...

First of all, HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY EVERYONE!! :) Let's spread the joy of reading, not only today, but every other day by sharing great reads with your friends and family, also, if you have too many on your shelves, give them to those in need...I came across this on guardian.co.uk and thought that I'd share it with you... "With or without TV debates, most thoughts at present in the UK are turning to the choice we will make in the forthcoming general election. However, the stark fact is that very many people in the UK will not be a part of that process; not because they don't want to necessarily, but because they lack the most basic skills to do so. They can't read. They cannot make a choice. It is a truly terrible democratic deficit." (More...) The thought of parting with your favourite books can be painful. To be honest, I had problems giving mine away. But just thinking of the impact it can make on a person's life helped the 'parting' a whole lot...
