book launch : graffiti moon

today was the official launch of cath crowley's wonderful new novel for teenagers (and teenagers at heart) graffiti moon. gabrielle wang made a beautiful speech and read two excerpts.






it was a fantastic event with a lot of interesting and lovely people; gorgeous, bright kids running around; champagne; laughter and A GIANT CAKE IN THE SHAPE OF A SPRAY CAN! one of cath's friends made it and it was delicious as well as attractive.
apologies that the pics aren't of brilliant quality, but i hope they capture what was a great afternoon event. megan has some more (err...better) pics over at literary life.

i reviewed it a little while ago. if you've reviewed it too, leave a comment on this post and we can all read it!

  6. Oh I am so jealous! We very rarely get authors over here in lil' old Perth doing events or a launch, let alone YA authors. And that cake does indeed look awesome :D
