Loved The June Book!

Hi Ladies,

Well I started and finished this book in one day, which is really good going for someone that hasn't been reading any books at all over the last couple of months!
Really enjoyed it, I wasnt too sure about it when I suggested it but its a great read!

Duffys circus has pulled in up the road from me and I might just be tempted to skip town......dont know if I can make it on the trapeze just yet though.

Have a copy of the book if anyone wants to borrow it.

Dublin Writers' Festival

The Dublin Writers’ Festival will take place from Wednesday 11th- Sunday 15th June inclusive. Over the four days, Dublin will host over 40 Irish and international writers and poets, journalists, political commentators, and even lawyers for a series of readings, discussions, debates and public interviews. The Festival will explore the themes such as war, loss, national identity, Irish values, childhood, crime, and the art of the short story.
The 2008 line-up includes a special, rare retrospective event at the Project Arts Centre with multi-million selling author J.P. Donleavy. The Dublin Writers Festival will also celebrate the remarkable career of one of the seminal playwrights of 20th and 21st-century British culture, Tom Stoppard, at the Hamilton Building at Trinity College Dublin.
