FOLLOWING a successful book launch at Barry Central Library, local author Carole May is hosting a reading for her new book 'This Cruising Life', which tells the story of her and her husband's circumnavigation around the globe in their home-built catamaran, Soñadora.

The reading, entitled 'The Start of a Sea Sailing Dream Around the World', is being held at Penarth Library on Saturday, September 30, beginning at 2pm.

Refreshments will be available.
