Something to go to almost everywhere
Louise Nicholas: My Story, by Louise Nicholas and Phil Kitchen, was released yesterday. I'll try and write a review later in the week, and there's certainly some parts of the book that I want to write about. But in the meantime I thought I'd let people know that she's doing a book tour. I think everyone should read her book, and hear what she has to say.

There are also book signings in several towns, so if you live somewhere there's going to be a talk, there might be a signing. For more information check here.
I went to the Auckland one last night and it was really good - about 150-200 people despite the last minute publicity. I was really struck by what a genuine person Louise is, and how although the crowd were angry there were still some laughs and people were very focused on how to make things change for the better.
ReplyDelete$20 ticket for the lunchtime event at the Intercontinental in Wellington... I can barely afford to buy the book, let alone go to a $20 lunch date...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go and meet her, but it's just not feasible as a woman on a very limited budget!
