Think of the Authors!

Posted on March 4, 2019March 4, 2019 by Rachael Simpson

On the 1st of January 1900 something magical happened (in my opinion.)

Oh the places I want to go! There’s so many amazing locations around the world, places that have inspired readers and writers alike.

I was first introduced to Darren Shan through the movie The Vampire’s Assistant, I loved the feeling of magic that the film had and instantly fell in love with it. Then while at a second hand bookshop I found the first three books in The Saga of Darren Shan, the books the film was based…

Posted on January 22, 2019February 1, 2019 by Rachael Simpson

Going to the library was my first introduction to reading. I used to spend hours there, I’m pretty sure the librarians used to shudder when they saw me coming because I always had a list of books I needed ordering in, as well as a good relationship I had with my school library. I loved…
