Monday 5 December

Day 2 of the Lit fest started with the ever brilliant Julia Wheeler hosting an 'in conversation' with Simon Winchester who has previously written a book about the Atlantic. Although he was supposed to be talking about his newest book Land he also covered Atlantic, and The surgeon of crowthorne/professor and the madman (he didn't like the film).

After lunch (and we were ready for the clocks to go forward an hour) it was time to see Mark Billingham & Mick Herron in conversation. 
They are clearly fans of each other's work so there was some good humoured ribbing of each other along the way.
Then it was off to the first book signings of the cruise - Rachel Joyce, Alexander McCall Smith, JoJo Moyes, and Simon Winchester.
Another great day at sea.
