How, What, Where and When? - Lisa Williamson, on 'Paper Avalanche'.
29 April 2019 • author, bookish, how what where when, interview, Lisa Williamson
I can’t help but feel like the marvellous Lisa Williamson was an intro to the wonderful YA community for me. After seeing her at an event in the magnificent Piccadilly (my first; the New Day New Normal tour with the absolute babe that is Louise O’Neill, and the YA legend David Levithan) we met up for a coffee, and I realised that authors are the best kind of humans – they’re up there with neurosurgeons, parents, and baristas.
After this I soon found out more about book blogging; the influence it can have on new readers, the value it has to publishers and how much an author will appreciate even the littlest positive review. We’re good humans too, we bloggers.
What I've watched: moms, voices and unicorns.

You
all know my long running series Recent
Reads?
Well, I seem to have made a
TV version of that! Original, I know. Anyway, let’s crack on with
my latest recs – and non-recs… oh, there's definitely more of the latter in this one...
'Little Shop of Horrors', by The Talentz; a review.
19 April 2019 • gracie gets dramatic, Little Shop of Horrors, The Talentz, theatre review
For
those of you who don’t know, The
Talentz is
an epic, award-winning musical theatre company offering professional training for folks aged 4 to 21 in Kent and I
finally got the chance to see one of their shows, ‘Little Shop of Horrors’, last night.
First
of all, I was amazed just how many people were in the audience,
considering it was a Thursday night and the show was running all
weekend – clearly these superstars are very well loved. Then I
spent the rest of the night being awed again and again at how
incredibly talented the whole company are.
Recent Reads: the first of 2019.

This post was definitely meant to be published in January... oops. Well, happy
2019, my book loving pals! This is set to be an exciting year in the
book world, and the magical UKYA community. I started the year
with a bookish bang; three YA novels! Wanna know how I felt about them? Read on…

Hi,
I’m Grace.

I
cry when people get through to the next stage on a TV talent show,
even if I don’t particularly like them or their performance.
Greggs’ vegan sausage rolls are
a new found weakness. My ears are
uneven. I’m finally reading Adam Kay’s ‘This is Going to Hurt’.
My idea of treating myself is paying to park in a multi storey,
rather than leaving the car on a residential road a long walk from
work like I usually do, because it’s free. I
own purple lipstick, but am rarely brave enough to wear it. Bird &
Blend may have a silly name now, but I love their teas. I was on 5
News last week, talking about Project #SHOWUS.
I
don’t judge. I really struggle to balance things in my life.
Everything I do, I do to make Teen Me proud.
