YES! I finally secured a place on one of these evenings with Naomi Wood whose short story collection This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things I really did love. I am so excited for this event and now that *my* place is confirmed, I will share the booking link.

Opened Xwitter for the first time in weeks to send a DM and was immediately rewarded with a Naomi Wood masterclass AND Gary Barlow's giant son.
