Robin Hobb evening at The English Bookshop UppsalaOur fantastic Robin Hobb evening is coming up, November 5!

All tickets are gone, so there will be no available seats on the actual evening. There is however a waiting list if anyone changes their mind. We have asked, and do now again, everyone holding a ticket to make sure they will be able to attend and if not - turn your ticket back in as soon as possible. We have a waiting list for people without tickets and we just added two people from Norway to the list...
