@AdamCSchembri Such awful news, Adam. So very sorry for your loss. Sending condolences to you and yours.

My mum passed away unexpectedly yesterday morning. I’m about to board my saddest ever journey home to Sydney. Our last text message was joking about her lack of enthusiasm for the coronation of Australia’s new monarch. We laughed a lot in our 57 years together. 💔

@RuthGilligan @EditionsduSeuil @CWAgencyUK Love the cover!

Did anyone else booking for @bavs_2022 find that the website only offers accomm for the nights of 31 Aug, 2 and 3 Sept (not 1 Sept?) @EmilyJLB @zoebulaitis @authorethan @LouiseCreechan @Jendeavour @madeline_cct? Wondering if it's a typo or 1 Sept fully booked?
