the big #bloomsburynightin

Highlight of this week was definitely the #bloomsburynightin - even if it did come at a slightly tricky moment in the bedtime routine! My husband took this, er, flattering action shot of me juggling baby and laptop just before we went live… and yes that is gin in the background...

Despite this somewhat shaky start, I loved chatting by to @zakiyadalilaharris about #greenwichpark and her novel The Other Black Girl (which I’m completely obsessed with - out in June, pre order now!) - we were trending 7th in the UK and we raised £1000 for the literacy trust, which is just amazing! You can watch us in action here:

Greenwich Park will be out in April and needless to say, there won’t be the boozy book launch I’d dreamt of- who knows if bookshops will even be open! - but this was such a fantastically buzzy and lively and fun event that it made me infinitely more cheerful about the idea of a virtual launch. Hope you’ll all come and raise a glass with me then!
