Booking my online streaming #Edinburgh Book Festival tickets for this year. I could watch live online, but will also have until the end of September to watch them on catchup, most likely how I’ll watch. My husband is going to watch the #GretaThunberg talk with me.

Plus 3 more talks. https://www.edbookfest.co.uk #EdBookFest #EdinburghBookFestival #CrimeWriting #BookFestivals #Books #Iceland #Bookstodon
