An important discussion at #EdBookFest as Nicola Kelly, author of #AnywhereButHere and Surekha Davies (author of Humans) spoke to Yassmin Abdel-Magied about the toxic rhetoric humans apply to one another in order to exclude. How can we repair the polarisation of our fractured world?

Who do you picture when you imagine hikers?

@kerriandrewsuk.bsky.social (Pathfinding) and Roger Clough (Oldenland) had a fascinating discussion at #EdBookFest about how walking and writing can inform a way forward for life, whether you're in your older years, or in the maelstrom of motherhood.

Callum Easter and the Roulettes tearing it up at the book festival on Friday. Mesmerising as always, huge Suicide vibes with a hefty dollop of Stooges’ spirit.

Edinburgh Book Festival round-up 2025 | @EdBookFest
It's been a extremely busy month in Edinburgh with the International Festival, the Fringe Festival and the Edinburgh International Book Festival all taking place. After today, the city will return to normal or as normal as it gets for August! Did you know that during the festivals, the population of Edinburgh is estimated to double to around 1 million? I know there are many bigger cities but you can imagine how busy it has been in town!

Wonderful memories from my first #EdBookFest: dazed, amazed, thrilled, and wishing I'd stayed for much longer (next time!).
Photos from some of the events I attended - plus the badge, or what I call the “feel like a princess for the day” talisman! 1/n 💙📚 🗃
