Aussie Readers discussion

Great line-up there Michael...wish I was closer!

I'm hoping to drop in one of the days - maybe the Sunday - depending on what else I have on.

I was there today & will be back around 5pm Monday

Unfortunately I didn't get to go for the speeches, I had to interview people there for a school project. I got some good answers, and whilst I was interviewing one gentleman Kate Llewellyn happened to overhear and said she would love to help, so she gave me her email address, which is very helpful :)
I'll be doing the same thing on Monday, and Scott Westerfeld will be there around the same time, so hopefully I can get him to sign a few books while Im at it! :)

Justine Larbalestier andIsobelle Carmody were both speaking while I was there, but I didnt get the chance to have a good listen.

Wow Jess, that's great about Kate! Hopefully you'll be able to incorporate some pleasure on Monday with your school work!

Today I met Thomas Keneally, the Booker Prize winning author of Schindler's List . I got him to sign my copy of the book, as well as interview him about the prize. We wpoke for close to 15 minutes & was incredibly helpful!
I also spoke shortly to Scott Westerfeld, who signed Uglies & Peeps

Also on the topic, Kate Llewellyn said she would try to put my in contact with Peter Goldsworthy :)

Well done Jess, awesome achievement!
