I'd love for him to come to my school, but I suspect he's way out of our league and price bracket now. You definately need to read Garth Nix: start with the Sabriel, Lireal, Abhorsen series. His 'younger' books aren't as good.<br />I'd love to see Jeanette Winterson: have loved her books since 'Oranges' came out 20+ years ago. Is Derek Landy on there - he's great fun to listen to. Very tempting but my kids would kill me if I went on my own and that triples the cost even though we could visit a friend at the same time!<br />Will have to make do with hoping we get tickets to see Malorie Blackman at the Phillipa Pearce lecture in Cambridge in September...and then wait for the Oxford Literary festival next year...sigh.Lisa Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141316010311729143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528106444793810674.post-20173715099242245942012-06-29T10:56:00.937-06:002012-06-29T10:56:00.937-06:00I catalogued a whole COLLECTION for the SPL, not t...I catalogued a whole COLLECTION for the SPL, not the whole library. :) It was a lot, though.

I can't believe you've never read Garth Nix - I've just ordered his new book. Eoin Colfer - ✔. Patrick Ness - ✔✔ - he's brilliant. Neil Gaiman - superb - oh to meet him! Alzander McCall Smith - so clever. He actually came to New Zealand this year, but I couldn't get to see him... ☹<br />Ian Rankin - the master. ✔✔✔✔✔<br />Well, we can dream.Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.com
