Scenes from the launch for my book What Readers Do Bloomsbury Academic hosted by Readings last night 🧁📖

A piece I wrote for The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand:

'This book clicked with me in a way other media hadn’t. Over the course of its 288 pages, I got to know Abu Saif, his extended family and his friends...' ✍️Beth Driscoll on 'Don't Look Left' & the power of books in times of crisis for The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand theconversation.com/at-a-time-of-c…

Loved this piece on reading, from Beth Driscoll “Reading may sometimes seem invisible or quiet, but it is a highly dynamic activity, infused with energy.” theconversation.com/at-a-time-of-c…
