CHCC Bookish Joy Blog Fest

First of all, who's going to Chadwell Heath's YA Festival this year? It's all happening on 12th May in Chadwell Heath.  Which authors are you most looking forward to meet? Let me know in the comments! I'm so excited to meet Sarah Ann Juckes (author of Outside), Alexandra Sheppard (author of Oh My Gods) and many more. Keep on reading for a 10% off code, specially for you, my lovely readers.

Last year was the first event and I really enjoyed all the panels, meeting the authors and getting some of my favourite books signed. To read more about my experience last year, read my post. This year it promises to be even better, I was excited to hear there will be lots of bookish stuff on sale this year. I LOVE anything booky so will be saving up to treat myself, possibly to a Cruel Prince bookmark, or a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Bookish Candle, or some postcards, or, or, or all of them! To celebrate the return of the festival, I've written a letter to an absolutely indispensable part of my life...

Dear Books,

Thank you for all the adventures, for transporting me to so many different places and worlds, for giving me a million lives to live.

When I was bored you chased the boredom away, when I was tired you helped relax me so I could sleep, when I had long journeys to get through, you filled the time and made it pass too quickly!

You help me understand what it's like to me so many different people, teaching me empathy. You cover any topic I can think of.

I know I'm not supposed to judge you by your covers, but with so many beautiful colours, sizes and formats, how could I ever be expected to resist?!?!? I know I will never manage to read all of you and that makes me a little sad, but it also makes me happy to know I will never run out of new and exciting things to read.

Reading is somehow magical. Somewhere along the lines of text, without realising it, the words turn into pictures in my mind.

I can't live without you, wonderful books, and will always be grateful for your existence.

Love forever,

Sabrina
