To celebrate International Women’s Day, Customs House Library hosted a Library Up Late event dedicated to romance fiction and asked me to curate it. I chose excerpts from romance books to be performed by Rhys Muldoon, Libbi Gorr and PJ Lane.

Naughty bits. Perhaps…raunchier than the library had been expecting. Oops. 😀

I loved this project. Selecting the excerpts took a lot longer and was more difficult than I had anticipated. Actually hearing the words performed by professionals exceeded my expectations. I could have listened to them all night.

I forgot to post a link at the time, but last year I was invited to speak as part of a panel at Ultimo Library to discuss ‘Sex, love and passion—the appeal of romance novels’.
