As you may already be aware, it is summer time. I have four
months off. That is a lot of time. Fortunately I have some amazing things coming
up that I can’t wait for. Of course most of them are book related. I thought l
would share them with you.
Meeting Cassandra Clare
This week is Cassie’s City of Lost Soul’s UK book tour. As
many of my favourite authors live in the US, they don’t frequently come over
here. So when I found out Cassandra Clare was coming, who is one of my all-time
favourite authors, I grabbed at it. Originally she was going to Wales, with no guarantee
of anywhere else, so I splashed out to head to the Hay festival. It would have
been cheaper to go to London but never mind. It will be a fun time away for the
Jubilee weekend. Book signing, Q&A, Reading from Clockwork Princess. What
more do you want? Can’t Wait!
HP Studio Tour
As you may or not be aware, Leavesden Studios, where the
Harry Potter films were made, has been converted into a public exhibition. This
is an opportunity not to be missed. I’m looking
forward to visiting all the sets, and seeing the props and costumes.
Florida and Harry Potter Wizarding World
I’ve wanted to go to Universal Studios since the park opened.
The problem with Florida is it is a little far away. However, we are now going
to Florida on a family holiday. The first two days are at Universal Studios, and
then we are spending a week at the coast; Harry Potter, then a week of reading
books. Can’t wait. My friend is coming with us too and I am dragging her on all
the rides.
Olympics
On a non-book related topic, it probably hasn’t failed to
escape your notice, especially if you live in the UK that the Olympics are
coming to London this year. And my dad managed to get tickets. This is another
once in a life time opportunity. Especially since the park is not that far away
from my parent’s house.
This summer is going to be one of awesomeness. Are you doing
anything awesome this summer?
