Lisa Jewell, beloved author of After
The Party, Before
I Met You, and other novels, answered a few questions
for Off the Shelf regarding her love of books and reading. Her new
novel, The
House We Grew Up In, will be released August 12th.
Tell us about the first book you ever purchased.
Strangely, I don't have this memory at all. My sisters and I
were library kids, our mother took us every week, so maybe I didn't even buy
a book as a child! My earliest memory of taking a book out of the library was
one of the Ant & Bee
series of books; these were quirky, almost surreal books about best friends
Ant (an ant) and Bee (a bee) who travelled around together having offbeat
adventures. I didn't know it at the time, but
they were written by an educationalist to teach children to read by themselves.
