I love attending book festivals to listen to authors and meet other readers. There is always a buzz at such events with people talking non-stop about books.
The Auckland Readers and Writers Festival is held annually in May and begins this year on Wednesday 12 May with public events held at the Aotea Centre from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 May. See the printed programme available in Libraries and bookshops or visit http://www.writersfestival.co.nz .
Actually just to feel the atmosphere you can pop into the Aotea Centre over the weekend and visit the bookstall – you are bound to see some of New Zealand’s top literary figures and there will be international authors signing copies of their books as well. Inspiring!
