World Book Night

We celebrated World Book Night in grand style at Inverurie Town Hall Library. I really enjoyed playing 'Book Fairy' for the night and giving away all my free copies. My book of choice was 'Why be Happy when you could be Normal' by Jeanette Winterson.

In 1985 Jeanette Winterson's first novel, 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit', was published. This latest work is that story's silent twin. It is full of hurt and humour and a fierce love of life. It is about the pursuit of happiness, about lessons in love, the search for a mother and a journey into madness and out again. It is generous, honest and true.
