An evening with Miranda Dickinson...

On Wednesday night I was lucky enough to be invited to an intimate book launch with Miranda Dickinson, her publisher and publicists and three other readers. This fantastic afternoon/evening took place in a trendy Soho eatery and our bookish discussions were accompanied by mini burgers and deserts all washed down with Prosecco and iced tea!



Miranda talked to us about her book and the reviews that had been coming in so far (mine included) as well as her previous four novels and her exciting exciting plans for book 6-which I cannot reveal now but I'm sure she will be letting readers know soon-it's seriously good stuff! 



She told us about her writing process, how she feels about being a full time writer now, and of course the fabulous news of her pregnancy. It was such a lovely evening because it was intimate and casual but we were all really excited about the book and she was even kind enough to sign our very own copies for us. The food was delicious although I don't know how Miranda had any time to eat hers as she spent so much time chatting to us individually. 




Her novel was published yesterday and if you've read my review which was posted on Wednesday you'll know how much I loved it. Thanks to Avon and Miranda for such a fab evening and the great company! 



Miranda was lovely enough to sign an extra copy of Take A Look At Me Now for me, and you guys have the chance to win it! All you need to do is comment below which of Miranda's novels is your favourite and why. I will pick a winner next weekend and notify the winner at the start of November. 



Remember to keep your eyes peeled to the blog for those exciting revelations about Miranda's next novel!

  1. My favourite was fairytale of New York. This is because this is when I discovered Miranda and I could not put her book down. She was a welcome addition to chick lit! Since then I have read all her books (minus this one) and have loved all of them! I do hope I'm lucky enough to win this fab signed book, it would be treasured forever!!! X x

  2. When I Fall in Love is my favourite because I loved the choir element of it! Though all her books are fabulous, as I'm sure this will be. You're so lucky to have met her!

  3. My favourite book of Miranda Dickinson in 'When I Fall In Love'. It is such a beautiful story set in Paris and a book you just can't put down. Despite reading this book a while ago, Elsie and her adventures are still imprinted on my memory which is the sign of a great book. Am very jealous you have met her! xx

    1. You should definitely read the others, fairytale of New York is the best starting point, or indeed this one!
