Yes, I know what you're thinking. You thought I died right? Probably abducted by an alien of some sort, maybe even the ones from Rick Yancey's The Fifth Wave or worse the ones from Cowboys Versus Aliens right? I sincerely hope not. E.T is more my speed so if I ever were to be abducted by aliens you can be sure that they are the cute and cuddly kind thank you very much. However, since I was not abducted I must begin by offering you my sincerest apologies. The fact of the matter is, I am a second year Media student which means I had to nurture another blog this year. Unfortunately that prevented me from spending more time with you guys. The semester is almost over though and most of the hard work is behind me so here I am, reunited with my one true love and I must say my timing is splendid because on the 6th of May ladies and gents, this little book worm will be in the company of two amazing South African authors. Can you Guess who? Okay... so Alex Van Tonder is in the title but I bet you can't guess the second author can you?
It's freaking Lauren Beukes guys!! Jealous yet? I'm sure you are but no worries because I will be reporting back to you in the most detailed post of your lives! So be sure to stay tuned for that. In the mean time I'll give you a little more information on the launch of the lovely Alex van Tonder's debut novel This One Time (*Side note, I keep wanting to say 'at band camp' is it just me?Yes? Okay never mind then):
The official blurb:
Personally I can not wait to get my hands on this book. From what I'm getting from the blurb I'm thinking Little Red Riding Hood retelling or maybe something like Hard Candy? I don't know but thankfully I won't have to wait too long to find out so YAY! If you want any more information about Alex Van Tonder you can find her facebook, twitter and instagram accounts on her
blog or you can check out this
Q&A in the Cape Times and find out what authors inspired her! Come on I know you are just dying to know! I will give you a hint though, it's not J.K Rowling...
