North London Reading Group

With Christmas and New Year a distant memory and the big freeze set to kick in, light is at the end of the tunnel in the form of Bookstock. Our unique, grassroots literary night will banish your back-to-work blues with five superb new writers and the chance to meet new like-minded friends for 2013.

After a busy week at Bookstock HQ, we can reveal the final two new additions to the line up of our most varied literary night yet.

New additions

We’ve found an ideal compere for the night in Dave Chawner, a comedian, actor and panelist on Loaded TV’s Lad’s Lit (“The UK’s only TV show for blokes that love books.”) Dave joins us ahead of his UK tour this year and is a regular on TV, radio, and in pubs, clubs and theatres up and down the country.

And we are thrilled to welcome back a Bookstock favourite and old friend – the supremely talented, entertaining and million-selling(!) Tim Griggs, whose sweeping, epic love story set against the backdrop of the Raj, Distant Thunder, is out now in Paperback.

Also appearing

Dave and Tim will be joining the following writers:

• Keith Kahn Harris – writer tracking down Botswana’s best heavy metal band & other unsung heroes
• Ruby Soames – writer whose Seven Days to Tell You is a page-turner about a vanishing husband
• Andrew Byrne – N10 debut novelist of Some Place South of Perfect, set over 8 days in London
• Ben Crystal – The “Jamie Oliver of Shakespeare” will give you a new perspective on The Bard

Bookstock takes place in one of London’s loveliest private pub rooms – the Green Man in NW1 with fine wines, ales and splendid pub grub on offer. If you’ve not been before, do come along and see why both readers and writers adore it – it really is the friendliest literary night in town and a steal at just £6 a ticket.
