Edinburgh International Book Festival:

Compilation 2016 - 2019

I've been going along to the Edinburgh International Book Festival for many years but this would have been my fifth year reporting on it. Each year I'm as excited, if not more, than the previous year. As it just gets better and better!

Over the years I have been incredibly lucky to hear and meet some of my favourite authors including Ian Rankin, Alexander McColl Smith, Marion Keyes, Michael Palin and many more.

I love discovering new books, especially those that are travel related. In 2016 at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, there were so many that I had to cover them in two parts. Including everything from travelogues to full-blown stories on pilgrimages.
