What are you excited for Autumn? I loved attending #edinburghbookfestival events online last year, saw some wonderful authors/speakers!

Black stage with spotlight on three women discussing Butter

Cover of the book Butter

Throughly enjoyed hearing Asako Yuzuki in conversation with Zing Tsjeng about Butter #EdinburghBookFestival. I haven’t read it yet but have a copy now and super-excited about getting stuck into this one.

Thanks @redbreastedbird.bsky.social for the great session #EdinburghBookFestival - my daughters (& I!) really enjoyed it. Loved the way you broke down for them how to create a mystery novel … and demystified the cryptic crossword!

Having the best time at @edbookfest.bsky.social - as many talks and shows as can be packed into 24 hours!

Couldn’t have had a better chair than Jo Buckley - such a great conversation!

Nicholas P Money & Siôn Parkinson: The Possibilities of Mushrooms From Mon 18 Aug - Mushrooms can be misunderstood, even feared, so when Margaret Atwood said at last year's Festival, 'mushrooms are going to be big in the future', we knew we needed to go deeper. They...

Picked this up at #EdinburghBookFestival yesterday & felt it apt to start under the afternoon sun in #HolyroodPark.
Irrespective of any opinion re #NicolaSturgeon, it’s accessible, compelling & candid. Almost halfway through already.
And, FWIW I reckon the title is a wee nod to JaneyGodley - nice!

The sky is saltired white on blue, the sun is out and am heading up the town to the #EdinburghBookFestival
This home town of mine has its moments… #Edinburgh #Scotland

@louisewelsh00.bsky.social thank you for a splendid event at #EdinburghBookFestival today. #WhoOwnstheClyde is inspiring. Your description of the #Clyde in #Glasgow resonates with the #Forth in #Stirling. The #Forth is far from a dead river here but is disconnected from the town. I must try harder!

At my ‘happy place’ #EdinburghBookFestival

Morning everyone. Hope we are all doing well on this cloudy and blustery day. Taking things easy today but will be braving the festival crowds later for the book festival.

'Lady Writer on the t.v.
Talk about the Virgin Mary
Reminded me of you...'

I love that the hot ticket for today is the sell-out interview with Marina Warner. And already we're on the cult of the Virgin Mary, which is where I came into her work.
