Launching Takhayyal and other events in February

February looks like a fairly busy month for me with lots to read and review. It is also gives me GREAT pleasure *drum roll* to announce that Takhayyal will launch on Thursday, 5 February, 2015.

I'm already in the process of scheduling the first five or so posts, so there wouldn't be any delays.

I'm still accepting artwork and photography to be featured for a week. Please bear in mind that the pictures you send will be used to spark others' imaginations and writing.

In case you haven't seen my Top Books of 2014, check them out here.

General February events:

·        The annual Cairo Book Fair started on 28 January and will end on 12 February. (Don't you wish it were longer?!) I hear they're doing a better job this year with an archive to see if the book(s) you want will be available in the fair.

·        Thursday, 5 February – First post in Takhayyal (I'm so excited!)

·        Tuesday, 10 February – I'll be taking part in a Blog Tour for Kate Avery Allison's Of Sea and Stone (Itlantis #1)

I also found this quote on Goodreads, and thought I'd share because it's just beautiful:

“Books are the carriers of civilization...They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.” ― Barbara W. Tuchman

Happy Reading and Writing Everyone!
