Walked-In London



Ok this is supposed to be filed under the non-theatre news/article area of this blog but since this blog doesn't have one of those areas it is going here.

LibraryGirl and I are proud to announce the opening of our new blog Walked-In London. The whole premise is that because LibraryGirl and I love London we have begun reading books set in London to find new places to visit and experience. Also a lot of these books are titles that would normally fall under my radar, as you can imagine with the ever expanding HeadTheatre Library choosing books for me to read for fun generally ends up being quick and unadventurous, so it is a chance to experience some really good stories that may not be on the bestseller lists. Plus we will be visiting and posting photos of places found in the novels we read and even constructing some walks that you too can follow!

My first book was Mr Rinyo-Clacton's Offer by Russell Hoban and boy was it good! In fact because all you lovely people out there read headtheatre.blogspot.com (cheap plug) here is a bonus unpublished extract from my book journal review of the novel:

This book promotes the idea that life isn't perfect but is precious and not something to just dispense of... I loved reading this book I give it 4 out of 5 and look forward to re-reading it in a few years time.

Right you can find Walked-In London at walked-inlondon.blogspot.com, thats right its easily accessible at walked-inlondon.blogspot.com please make your way in an orderly fashion to the blog and let us know what you think.

Oh and I know that you all must be thinking, hey that blog looks good why is headtheatre so basic? Well I intend to amend that soon...
