That was fun. Thanks so much to @leedslitfest.bsky.social for letting us be part of their amazing festival. Our tour continues so keep an eye out! And keep checking the Leeds LitFest account too.
Went to see this short film over the weekend: the Seacroft Canto, an amazing project reimagining Dante's Divine Comedy through the lens of Seacroft, east Leeds. Not sure where/when it's on again but look out for it if you can. Part of @leedslitfest.bsky.social

I haven't been to a good bookish event in too long, I'm really looking forward to it 📚
Really good @leedslitfest.bsky.social event with @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social!
