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. And I’ll also watch the Icelandic Prime Minister speaking about her crime writing career in another. Plus 3 more talks. https://www.edbookfest.co.uk #EdBookFest #EdinburghBookFestival #CrimeWriting #BookFestivals #Books #Iceland #Bookstodon
