Bloomsbury Author Signings in the UK

Great news for all you UK book lovers! This morning I received an email from Emma over at Bloomsbury with a list of signings that their authors are attending here in the UK over the next few months. I decided to share the news with you lovely people so you can spread the word and write the date in your diary to meet some of your favourite authors.
