Challenge: "Name 20 living female authors you admire, 1 per day"

Day 20: Eleanor Catton

I was fortunate to hear Catton do a reading at the Edinburgh Book Festival in 2013, and just a couple of months later she became the youngest ever winner of the Man Booker Prize for her second novel, The Luminaries - one of the strangest books I've ever read.

So, yay! I made it to 20 posts. Not hard actually, as there are so many fantastic #FemmeÉcrivain out there!

Achievement unlocked!

@jfmezei Was it not built to accommodate the expected large influx of visitors for the Olympics?

@chris

@jfmezei That makes sense. Mirabel was kind of silly as it was so far outside the city.

@chris

@jfmezei Is that airport still in use? @chris
