The sun shone and town was bustling with book lovers attending the Bath Literature Festival and Rugby fans attending the match.

Lovereading was the proud supporter of two events on Sunday 9 March. One featuring the brilliant young thriller writer Tom Rob Smith discussing his new book The Farm. The other, the final event of the festival, where best selling author Val McDermid was giving the last of the Bliss lectures, on Jane Austen, and discussing her reworking of Austen's Northanger Abbey. All the attendees got a special Lovereading goody bag which as you can see from the photos below they clearly liked. [nggallery id=4]
