Zoe Sharp - Thursday 25th February - Garforth Library
Please note that Sophie Hannah has withdrawn from the event at Garforth Library. But we are very proud to announce that...
The following quote is from the Chicago Tribune:
Male and female crime fiction readers alike will find Sharp's writing style addictively readable − one of the very best crime fiction sagas out there.
Anyone who thinks contemporary crime fiction is a genre driven by testosterone-crazed protagonists − and writers for that matter − obviously hasn't read Zoë Sharp or any of her novels featuring former British Army Special Forces soldier turned bodyguard Charlotte "Charlie" Fox. Ill-tempered, aggressive and borderline psychotic, Fox is also compassionate, introspective and highly principled: arguably one of the most enigmatic − and coolest − heroines in contemporary genre fiction.
Top crime writer Zoe Sharp will now be appearing on
Thursday 25th February,
7pm - 8pm, Garforth Library.

Tree O'Clock - Saturday December 5th
As part of National Tree Week, and to contribute to the "Tree O'Clock" World Record Attempt, on Saturday December 5th members of Garforth in Bloom planted a tree outside the new building. The tree is a prunus cerasifera.
To be eligible for the record attempt - which was to plant the most trees in the space of one hour and was taking place throughout the UK - the tree had to be planted between 11:00 and 12:00 on Saturday 5th. The BBC estimate that as many as 500,000 trees were planted throughout the country in the space of this hour.
Thank you Garforth in Bloom!!!
