The Day I Met J. K. Rowling!

First of all, ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! That was frickin' amazingggggg!!! I honestly feel so unbelievably honoured to have had the chance to meet one of the biggest figures and influences of my childhood. Such a lovely, down to earth, honest woman! I don't even know where to start with this post and what to tell you guys, I'm still shaken by the event itself even though it was on Friday.

I think I'll start off with showing you guys the small amount of (not great quality) photos that I have :). We weren't allowed to take photographs during the actual interview itself but were allowed to snap a few before and after. I was disappointed but then again totally sympathetic. I can imagine it would get quite annoying after awhile. ANYWAY, photos:

J. K. Rowling Signing!

Just a quick blog post to let you all know that I will be -as soon as I've finished this course text - writing up a blog post about my visit to Bath's Literary Festival where I met and got a book signed by the woman herself!Look at iiitttt!!! :D Arrgghhhhh! I have a few things to share with you guys about her plans, I don't want to do the blog post without a few of the pictures I managed to snap! They didn't allow us to snap any during the event :( sniffffff. Eeeek excited to share all with you guys!

Waiting on Wednesday #18

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine , which allows us to show off the books we cannot wait to get our hands on. This week I thought I'd do something a little different and show you a literary event that I CANNOT wait for!

J. K. Rowling on The Casual Vacancy - Bath Literary Festival 08/03/2013

Myself and my partner are attending this Friday and I am sooo unbelievably excited! I can't wait to hear all that she has to say on her new book and to hopefully get a book signed! Totally fan-girling out about this, it's going to be amazing to be in the same room as the woman that created Harry Potter, a series which has been such an important part of so many of our childhoods :).
