Bookseller Doris Mousdale writes


I noticed your various pieces on Salman Rushdie and his just-published memoir.
I still have some signed Salman Rushdie bookplates from a secret visit he paid to NZ some years ago, we met in the then swish Carlton Hotel and he was kind enough to sign the bookplates for me.

On another note.......
Have you watched Channel 78  CHOICE?

There is going to be a new programme BRUNCH co-hosted by April Ieremia and Josh Kronfeld. I will be doing the Brunch Bookclub each week and we will be building a virtual bookclub via television for those who can't for one reason or another get to one or indeed want to belong to more than one. There will be author interviews as and when available

We are in the process of filming and building the Brunch website.There will of course be Tweeting and Facebooking once it all gets underway.

The books for the first couple of programmes are:

Gold   Chris Cleave    Hachette

Sweet Tooth   Ian McEwan    Random House

Gone Girl       Gillian Flynn    Hachette

Trust Your Eyes   Linwood Barclay  Hachette

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry  Rachael Joyce   Random House

The Shadow Girls   Henning Mankell   Random House

Publishers can contact me at Arcadia or email me doris.mousdale@xtra.co.nz with titles for consideration.
