SUMMARY:David Scott in conversation with Nooruddean Choudry: Mancunians
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce David Scott will be coming to House of Books & Friends on Wednesday 3rd July to discuss his book Mancunians: Where Do We Start\, Where Do I Begin? David will be in conversation with Nooruddean Choudry\, author of Inshallah United and Manchester United journalist and fanatic\, to discuss the side of Manchester that often gets underrepresented and overlooked: the musicians of colour\, the football fans alienated by rampant commercialism\, frustrated public figures\, optimistic developers and ambitious artists. The evening will involve a discussion\, Q&A and a chance to get your copy of Mancunians signed. \nTickets\nClick here to buy a book and ticket for £11.99\nClick here to buy a ticket only for £5 (this is redeemable against a copy of the book on the evening) \nAs always\, we have a limited amount of complimentary tickets for this event for anyone who needs it. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597365380. \nAbout the book \nIn the late 1990s\, Manchester was a city in upheaval. The devastation of the IRA bomb and the closure of the notorious Haçienda nightclub were seismic events that rocked the city’s confidence at a time when identikit bands were flooding its clubs and bars\, fueled on anthemic guitar rock and swagger. Stereotypes were everywhere\, while the spirit of Manchester was silently suffocating. Through a mixture of memoir and interviews with well-known Mancunians such as Guy Garvey\, Tunde Babalola\, Sylvia Tella\, Badly Drawn Boy and Stan Chow\, David Scott portrays the city at the turn of the century in a way never seen before.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Daisy Buchanan: Pity Party
DESCRIPTION:House of Books & Friends are excited to welcome back our friend Daisy Buchanan on Monday 15th July to discuss her new book Pity Party! The event will take place from 6-7pm and will include a Q&A and the chance to get your book signed by Daisy too. \nTickets\n£5 Ticket only (redeemable against a copy of the book on the evening)\n£18.99 Book and ticket \nAs always\, we have a limited amount of complimentary tickets for this event for anyone who needs it. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597365380. \nAbout the book \nKatherine lives by the rules\, ticks all the boxes and prepares for the worst\, even while she hopes for the best.\nThen the worst actually happens and\, as she tries to navigate life as a young widow\, it turns out she was not prepared at all.\nNothing scares Katherine more than stopping\, but everyone insists she needs to take some time for herself. Head to a wellness retreat\, they said. Enjoy some me-time\, they said…\nExcept this retreat isn’t the pity party she was hoping for. Instead of massages\, she has erotic meditation\, and instead of spa treatments she has scream therapy.\nKatherine has never lost control in her life. In fact\, she’s fairly certain that if she starts screaming she might never stop. \nBut she’s about to let go\, and everyone had better stand back…\nHilarious\, heartbreaking and honest\, this is a story about learning how to stop playing it safe in a world that feels so dangerous – and showing up to the party\, even when it feels impossible. \nAbout the author \nDaisy Buchanan is an award-winning journalist\, author and broadcaster. Her books include the novels Insatiable (longlisted for the CWIP prize)\, Careering (as heard on BBC Sounds) and Limelight\, and the non-fiction titles How to Be a Grown Up and The Sisterhood. She hosts the Daisy Is… podcast series\, and the chart-topping podcast You’re Booked\, where she interviews legendary writers from all over the world about how their reading habits shape their work.
