I am a bookaholic from way back, famous for having my nose in a book when young and now infamous for being totally incapable of resisting the force that sucks bookaholics into bookshops. I am Director of the All Saints' Literature Festival, a four day event for schoolchildren throughout Western Australia. This year was the second year of the Festival and we sold 12,500 tickets. The 2004 Festival will take place 30 March-2 April, and planning is progressing well. Since I have little time to read all the books I need to, and want to, I collect pop-up and paper art books (for my inner-child!!??) and fiction and non-fiction (for my retirement!). Any excuse to buy books!!
