The Everybody's Reading festival kicked off in Leicester yesterday with a mass reading at the football stadium before the match. Here on Un:Bound we celebrated with flash fiction. All week there will be a host of events taking place in Leicester and plenty going on online too. We even have the relaunch of young & unbound on wednesday evening (from 4pm Kona Blue in the highcross) which will feature a reading from Maxine Linnell.
In the run up to the event we have had some fantastuc guest posts on the Everybody's Reading site that are well worth a visit if you;ve missed them so far. The programme of guest posts will continue throughout October so if you'd like to contribute a 500 word post please drop me a line. Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed so far.
Coming up on Monday is more Flash Fiction from Karen and on Tuesday we have Alasdair talking about another of his favourite books and I suppose some time this week I should talk about one of my own favourite books.

Waah -- wish I were there! Sounds like wonderful fun.
sadly my day job is keeping me from much of it, but tomorrow afternoon I shall be sticking wee poems up in ladies toilets and during the week I shall try to make a few events. :)
I was wondering where that sentence was going as I read it, LOL, and what you were sticking where!
HA HA HA!
