Haul:
I was lucky enough to be able to attend a very special launch event for The Escape Game by Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moaa where we cracked an escape room ourselves! We were kindly gifted copies of the book and wonderful goody bags by the Hot Key Books team and I passed mine on to a good friend.
The wonderful team at Tor UK sent me Dreamland by Olivie Blake, while the team at SimonYA sent a gorgeous package for Our Wicked Gifts by Kathryn Foxfield. Finally, Penguin Michael Joseph sent me Better Than Revenge by Bea Fitzgerald.
I also went to even more great book talks, where I picked up Wandering Souls by Cecile Pin and The Ending Writes Itself by Evelyn Clarke (plus merch bundle).
