He loves it. If you fancied doing a reading/signing at the High Street Waterstone's, he'd love it, you'd be welcome to stay at mine and we'd gather the local SCBWI crowds for it -there are a lot of us... (and I bought it to read on holiday).Juliet Clare Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020801246132751659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-74428153891377549252011-07-26T15:26:19.215+01:002011-07-26T15:26:19.215+01:00Yay!

As someone who spends loads of time reading picture books and little time reading anything else, it's always great to hear about new books that look really exciting. I've wanted to read Sara's Dark Parties since I read the chapter in UV and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. And now, I'm really looking forward to reading the other two, too. Almost all of the non-picture books I've read since having children (and discovering SCBWI) have been by SCBWIers (and plenty of the PBs too). Thanks again and can't wait to read them all.
