I will be going to Edinburgh from 18-25 August for this year's Festivals, for the first time, and I'll meet up with two good friends from LT, Fliss (flissp) and Margaret (wandering_star) while I'm there. Last month I booked tickets for 11 author events during the Edinburgh International Book Festival, which runs from 12-28 August:

19 Aug: Zadie Smith
20 Aug: Ali Smith
20 Aug: Jason Donald & Jenny Erpenbeck
20 Aug: Margo Jefferson with Jackie Kay
21 Aug: Henry Marsh
22 Aug: Petina Gappah & Akhil Sharma
22 Aug: Visions of the Future: Equality in the USA (with Gary Younge)
22 Aug: Meet The Last Poets (free event)
23 Aug: Gary Younge
23 Aug: Karl Ove Knausgaard
23 Aug: Christine Otten & The Last Poets
24 Aug: Colm Tóibín

Is anyone else planning to attend the Book Festival? If so, what talks have you booked or plan to see? It would be nice to meet other LTers, if possible, during the Festivals, whether for author talks or other Festival events.
