I loved popping in to @booknestmudgee to sign copi I loved popping in to @booknestmudgee to sign copies of The Valley of Lost Stories. Portia and Alison (pictured) have the best book shop story. Four friends have opened this gorgeous space together, ending Mudgee’s seven year bookshop drought. What started as a vague dream (who hasn’t said they want to open a bookshop with friends) turned into a reality ✨This one even has a little lounge room in the back for book clubs ❤️ 📚 @mudgeereaders

Posted @withregram • @mudgeereaders And just lik Posted @withregram • @mudgeereaders And just like that, we’ve officially kicked off a fresh season of Mudgee Readers’ Festival events 🤗🤗 

Today, we were lucky enough to host the very clever @vanessamccausland, who dazzled a room full of eager readers with her  storytelling skills. Her book, The Valley of Lost Stories, explores the power of female friendships, motherhood, and our colonial history, all set in the familiar scene of the Capertee Valley. Vanessa engaged a sensitivity reader to assist in the truth-telling of Indigenous stories, and reached a lot of passionate people through her authentic narrative. 

Vanessa also revealed some tidbits on her latest novel, to be released in early 2022. She wrote the novel during lockdown, inspired by Bruny Island, mystery, soulmates, and the stories we tell ourselves 😍

So with the first of our MRF21 events under our belt, prepare for some exciting news in the coming days about even MORE ways to engage with the reading community - right here in Mudgee. We’ve got some big things coming... 😉📣

Big shoutout to the fabulous @augustine.events for hosting today’s event and providing the delicious high tea treats and to beloved MRF host, Sharelle Fellows 👏🏼
