There are only 2 tickets left for
the supper with Barbara Erskine on Sat.
Other events are selling well and there is a feature in the glossy EADT Suffolk Magazine coming out this week as well as a feature today in the EADT and the Star and I'm being interviewed on BBC Radio Suffolk so get in quickly!
Two events I would personally recommend are Boris Starling 9.30 Sat 15- our opening event and Breakfast with Stephen May on Sunday at 10a.m.
I'm currently reading and very much enjoying and appreciating Boris'novel "Visibility"- a very atmospheric, thought provoking thriller set in the London smog of 1952.
One of the events I most enjoy at the Edinburgh Book Festival is the breakfast event each day and have been known to book in even when the speaker was a poet reading part of his work in Icelandic! What better way to start the day than having coffee (or tea!) and a breakfast pastry while listening to an author.
Other events selling fast are Nicola Upson, the panel event "Deadlier Than the Male" ,the cookery demo, Vintage tea parties, Liz Trennow and John Saul.
Don't forget to get your children involved too- events at the library for little ones up to teenagers ( library coffee bar event with Hayley Long)
I turned on the Radio today and heard Liz Trennow talking on "Start the Week" I think the programme repeats this evening on Radio 4 .Liz is appearing at the Festival 4.30 on Sunday at the Orwell Hotel.

An exhibition of the work of artist Alison Stockmarr'Face Books' is a collection of work poking fun at Facebook. By matching old photographs with suitably titled books, profiles are constructed, creating a library of invented friends of yesteryear. Apertures are cut into books, with photographs and ephemera collaged within their pages. Appropriate and sometimes inappropriate, narratives are constructed to complete the picture, all be it fake...not unlike some of the ones on Facebook!
