Paper Plus Gore to Hold VIP Night Hosted by Kerre Woodham

Paper Plus books spokesperson Kerre Woodham is visiting Gore on Friday 19 September to chat about her favourite reads. Doug and Denise Grant from Paper Plus Gore invite the community to attend the evening event and enjoy a glass of bubbly while talking with Kerre about their favourite books. 

It will be an evening of celebration for Kerre too, as she looks forward to discussing her memoir Short Fat Chick to Marathon Runner, a characteristically witty and candid account of how she worked her way to fitness and completed both the Auckland and New York Marathons – all after inauspiciously turning up to her very first training session with a hangover.

Guests will also enjoy a special appearance by accomplished New Zealand photographer and non-fiction writer, Ian Brodie. Ian’s love of country, film, travel, photography and warbirds has combined to produce some remarkable books and images. His The Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook was one of the inaugural Booksellers Platinum Award titles, and Cameras in Narnia, simultaneously published in four countries, had one of the largest initial print runs of any New Zealand book.

Doug and Denise say the evening will be a celebration of great reading and a chance for the guests to chat about their favourite books while relaxing with a glass of bubbly.

The event will be held at Paper Plus Gore from 6.30pm. Entry to the VIP night costs $10, with $5 from every ticket going to Gore and Districts SPCA. Tickets can be purchased from Paper Plus Gore.

Kerre is a well-known presence on the Paper Plus website and in stores, each month announcing and reviewing her preferred latest books in Kerre’s Choices, and sharing her thoughts in the Paper Plus Book Club online discussion forum. The Paper Plus Book Club gives readers the opportunity to review books they love, add comments to other reviews and receive special book offers.
