Here's something delightful to do on a wintery Saturday afternoon:
The Weekend ReadAs part of The Light in Winter, Fed Square are holding a  Weekend Read  where together with special guests, you’ll group read the ripping Victorian tale –  The Mystery of a Hansom Cab . Written by English writer Fergus Hume in 1886 and set in Melbourne, the novel was Australia’s first international bestseller. Imagine a cold winter Saturday afternoon, in a friendly venue, a warm drink and a bunch of people happy to hand the book around and each read a few pages until the mystery is solved on the last weekend of the Light in Winter. Register at fedsquare.com/weekendread-free event
It starts this Saturday, June 2nd 2.30 - 5pm and runs until June 29th. I have been asked to "open the reading" on Saturday 16th June, so come along and share a good book.
