At the bookfest this year

I had been closely following the edbookfest site and had even marked out the programmes and events I wished to attend. Unfortunately I missed the start date for booking tickets online by just one day and most of the events had been sold out. I still managed to attend a few. Here are the highlights from my visit to the fest.

 

 

 

 

Missed his talk about Satanic Verses and the fatwa but made to his book signing event.

Margaret Atwood with Naomi Alderman and Valerie Martin

Couldn’t get tickets to her talk on The Blind Assassin but attended her panel discussion on “Writing under the influence” 🙂

 

I splurged… a lot and got these books for Shantanu!

We even made it to Julia Donaldson’s signing! 🙂
