My Edinburgh International Book Festival

We'd like to hear what your Edinburgh books festival has been like.

You could record a short review of an event or debate you have seen, tell us about a memorable conversation you had with an author at a book signing, or a book you have just discovered, whatever sums up your festival, we'd like to hear about it.
