We loved having you Adam, hope we see you again!
Had the greatest time at @hburghbookfest.bsky.social this weekend. Came second in a literary quiz where I was on a team with a dog, had a packed event, sold all my books, met so many wonderful people and ate so many biscuits. An incredible literary festival. Can’t wait to come back.
