I’m off to Foyles this evening to sit in the audience and stare lovingly at a living legend: Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
I may even ask a question, but I doubt it. Face to face conversations I’m okay with, but in a crowd, I like to disappear, i.e. I like the anonymity and always feel that someone out there will ask far more intelligent and brilliant questions than moi!
Back to CRZ: he’s at Foyles to chat about his children’s novel (and a novel for those who are youthful) The Prince of Mist.
I am armed with two copies of the book, my autograph book and also a camera. I chose not to bring the other larger books he is probably better known for: The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel’s Game. Reason being, that for my commute, it’s easier to carry what I already have in my bag, instead of another 2 rather large books. However! Once at Foyles, I may forget myself and buy copies and give them to hubby Mark to lug home.
And that’s really all this blogpost was about. A tiny squee about being at tonight’s Foyles event to meet CRZ himself.
