@gardnersbooks.bsky.socialWhat an amazing Trade Show! 🙌💙
To help relive the day, we're looking back at it with our mascot Teddy 🧸
From helping with the mic test and visiting our Paris, London and Lakeside suites, to enjoying lunch and checking out the signed editions, he certainly kept himself busy!
@gardnersbooks.bsky.socialOnly four days to go! 📚🎉
As we get closer to this year's trade show, we're getting more excited by the day. Here's a reminder of the fantastic guest authors joining us on Sunday:
✨ Ann Cleeves
✨ Ben Macintyre
✨ Phil Earle
✨ Reece Shearsmith
We can't wait to see you there 💙
@gardnersbooks.bsky.socialWe're SO close to the Trade Show, can't you tell?! 🎉
Everything is being packed up now... although our teddy bear mascot seems determined to supervise every single box. 🤷🧸
Just five days to go now and we are SO EXCITED to see you on Sunday! 💙
@gardnersbooks.bsky.socialCalling all Trade Show attendees! 📢
Our mascot Teddy would love more badges and pins for his collection! 🧸💙 He'll be busy socialising (and doing a little bit of work too!) on Sunday, and can't wait to fill his little T-shirt with as many as he can.
