US Tour Dates!

I can’t believe GIRLS comes out in less than a month! It’s felt like the loooooongest journey to get here, but now everything is moving so fast it’s both exciting and utterly terrifying! In just a few weeks, I’ll be coming to the US to celebrate the launch. It’ll just be the west coast this time, but I’m so excited to meet – and make – writer and readers friends and talk all the bookish things, so

Topics Mentioning This Author

“His soul sat up. It met me. Those kinds of souls always do - the best ones. The ones who rise up and say "I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come." Those souls are always light because more of them have been put out. More of them have already found their way to other places.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”
Alan Bennett, The History Boys

“We traveled so far and your friendship meant everything. It was very difficult, but there were moments of beauty. Everything ends. I am not afraid.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

“I don't want an easy life. I want a meaningful one.”
Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire

May your career be bright and prosperous. :)
