The Tales Compendium Turns Three!


Today marks three years since I started The Tales Compendium. Can you believe it? I can't. It started as a way to keep track of all the reviews I wrote for my job in a book store but it very quickly turned into something so much more. I was amazed to discover a whole blogosphere of like-minded people and the blogging community is wonderful. I have made so many friends and discovered some fabulous authors.

Highlights from the last three years include:

Interviewing Rachel Caine for Penguin at an event here in Perth.

 

Meeting one of my all-time favourite authors David Levithan at the Perth Writers Festival

 
 
Starting Perth YA Fans Unite and organising an event with Melina Marchetta

 

Meeting some of the amazing Perth authors at the annual A Night With Our Stars

  
 

Meeting Maggie Stiefvater and Sarah Alderson

  

Doing work experience in Sydney at Walker Books for two weeks

 

Watching the blogging and young adult community come together in support of YA Saves

 
And of course discovering some truly amazing books...
