Events, news and activities on the Radishweb…

 
May

On Tuesday, 1st we are at Allerton Grange High School to support Marie-Louise Jensen with her book The Girl in the Mask.  This is an 18th century romance involving a girl who just wouldn’t be told how to behave and became as adept at highway robbery as dancing in the Assembly Rooms!

Other school events this month include one for Gill Lewis and her book Sky Hawk on the 23rd  and Harriet Goodwin who is promoting three of her books on the 24th.  The details have yet to be finalised but will post them as soon as I have them.Citizen's Income and Green Economics

We are proud to support Clive Lord in his book tour and launch at the end of the month.  Clive was a founder member of the Green Party and is launching his book Citizen’s Income and Green Economics in conjunction with Radish in Leeds.  We will be at the Central Library on the 22nd at 10.00 am and 2.00pm Headingley Library on the 23rd at 7.15pm and Chapel Allerton Library on 24th at 7.00pm.  His book retails for £30 but Radish will be  able to supply this at these events for half price £15.00!  Click the picture to pre-order.

On 6th we are at Inkwell with their MayDay celebrations.  It all kicks off at 2.00pm and finishes at 8.00pm.  We will be there with a stall of clothes, jewellery and a few books!  Tickets available in the shop or from their website.
