I have accidentally engineered a circumstance where every time I do an event at @GroveBookshop, @DevaneEmily makes me a book-themed cheesecake and it’s quite the most wonderful thing. Last night I got this glorious one, along with a packed house and a brilliant audience. 🍪🩵

@ilkleylitfest That's just made our day! Of course, we'd be honoured 💘
