Who's excited for the Lincoln Book Festival 2025? 🤩 We're so lucky to have such a fantastic mix of bookstores in the city - Lindum Books, Lark Books, Shelf Editions, and Waterstones Lincoln - supporting this October’s festival.

BRILLIANT event Newark Book Festival with the inimitable Dr Tim Rideout chatting to two of #historicalfiction's most exciting writers: Laura Shepherd-Robinson and our own Essie Fox Author! #TheArtOfALie and #Dangerous are both out now! #BookTwitter


It was terrific to meet TM Logan🇬🇧🇺🇦 and Matthew Arlidge today at Newark Book Festival. Two new (for me) writers, but both so kind to talk to. I'm super excited to delve deep into their books ... maybe one will be set in our sleepy market town someday? 😅📚 #newbooks #booksigning
