This year I actually made it to CrimeFest 2015 held at the Royal Marriott Hotel in Bristol, and as you can imagine, I fangirled my way through it. I got to meet some of my favourite authors and bloggers, and I was asked a few times if Books & Reviews is till running, which I can say yes. My PhD, a bad break up and lots of travelling have kept me busy for the last months, but now I’m back!
And here they are, the pictures of me with every author, blogger and publisher who spent more than 5 minutes with me:
You look so happy in those pictures – I’m really envious but also very pleased you had such a good time!
Thank you, MarinaSofia, and those are the ones where I don’t look crazy at all. I hadn’t smiled so much in my whole life!
Looks like you had a great time! So many awesome authors.
Thank you, Becks. I did indeed 🙂
It sounds wonderful, so pleased that you had a good time and I’m only teensy weeny bit envious!
Thank you, Cleo. I had a great time, and I hope you can make it there for CrimeFest16 so we can have a drink together.
I really, really want to go, it sounds so much fun and you met some wonderful authors. It’s harder to do things like this from here so I must get organised!
Looks like you had a very nice trip!
Thank you, Keishon. I did. You need to join us one year!
I want to/will attend one year. I just need to do a better job at planning for these events. I’m not an author aspiring or otherwise. Do you think readers can get something out of it as well?
Well, I think it’s pretty much reader-oriented, but at least you’ll have a great time meeting everyone.
Hey Elena, I don’t think I have seen a photo of you before, so this was really nice to see. Glad you had a good time!
Rikki!!! I can’t believe you still come here every once in a while. Thank you, and yes, I was finally brave enough to post some pictures of me online 😛
Sure I come here once in a while. Just because I don’t blog about books anymore doesn#t mean I am giving up on reading blogs (or books, for that matter), 🙂
Oooh, good to know (and happy too).
Great pictures – you look like you had a ball! And glad to see you’re back and looking very happy!
I did, Linda. Thank you for bearing with me through good and bad times x
I saw on Twitter that you got to attend Crimefest, and was happy to know you were having such a great time. Hope things are well, and that the reading is wonderful.
Thank you, Amanda. Everything’s fine now. Better than ever, actually 🙂
Great photos! It looks like a fabulous weekend was had.
I did, Rebecca. See you there one day?
These pictures are great! I didn’t take nearly enough photos. Crimefest really is a lot of fun, and I’m glad you had a good time too! Love the pub quiz photos. I was on the newbie table beyond yours (Team Terrible Toby) – it’s a shame we didn’t get to meet! 🙂
Thank you!! And we should meet next year, what do you think? 😉
Whoops, sorry for the slow reply. That sounds good to me! 😀
Looks like fun. And as for the bad break-up: add time and you’ll be murmuring ‘who?’ in the unlikely event it ever crosses your mind. Really.
It was, NR, and your words mean the world to me. Here’s to moving on! 🙂
