A week since the beginning of @baytales.bsky.social 2025 and I am still smiling. Friendly, kind, funny - #baytales25 was like the best of mates in book festival form.
Cannot wait until #baytales26 - the only way to celebrate the arrival of spring ❤️

At times it felt as if I was reading classic crime noir with #TheLateGreats by @nickquantrill.bsky.social.
Next up is #ItsNotWhatYouThink from @claremackwrites.bsky.social and @harpercollins.bsky.social, but I’m not sure I’ll get much read this weekend as I’m heading to #BayTales26
