He was also part of the UK's premier (and possibly only) Jane Austen based comedy improv group Austentatious - so his devotion to the beloved author is assured. Andrew is also a bestselling author, his first novel The Last Day, was a Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller, and one of the top 10 fiction debuts of 2020. His new book The Sanctuary has been described as 'A brilliantly clever thriller' by Richard Osman. We talked to Andrew about Douglas Adams, fabulous first editions, the brilliance of Persephone books, rewriting classics, sex and science and, of course, Jane Austen.

We've been dreaming of having Nell appear on the show since it began, so we're delighted to finally get the chance to chat. Nell is an author, journalist and podcaster. Her first novel was the hilarious Square One, while her first book, The Panic Years, dealt with womanhood, motherhood and... panic. Her latest is Holding the Baby, a memoir on parenting that culminates in a manifesto. We talked to Nell about fantastic literary fathers, the forbidden fruit of Bridget Jones, great fictional witches and deliberately not finishing a book because you love it so much.  For your chance to appear on the podcast, pre-order Daisy's next book Limelight from Bookshop.org. Details of Daisy's event in Bath with Pineapple Street author Jenny Jackson are here.

]]> This week, we are delighted to present a very funny, thoughtful and free-flowing conversation with a very old friend of the podcast, Nell Frizzell! We've been dreaming of having Nell appear on the show since it began, so we're delighted to finally get the chance to chat. Nell is an author, journalist and podcaster. Her first novel was the hilarious Square One, while her first book, The Panic Years, dealt with womanhood, motherhood and... panic. Her latest is Holding the Baby, a memoir on parenting that culminates in a manifesto. We talked to Nell about fantastic literary fathers, the forbidden fruit of Bridget Jones, great fictional witches and deliberately not finishing a book because you love it so much.  For your chance to appear on the podcast, pre-order Daisy's next book Limelight from Bookshop.org. Details of Daisy's event in Bath with Pineapple Street author Jenny Jackson are here.

As stated during the show, this week's guest is the 'platonic ideal of a You're Booked guest'. Lucy Easthope is one of the UK's leading authorities on emergency planning, a Professor in Practice of Risk and Hazard, co-founder of the After Disaster Network and has advised on nearly every major disaster of the past two decades, including 9/11, the 7/7 bombings, Grenfell and the Covid-19 pandemic. Her book When the Dust Settles is a Sunday Times bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. As well as taking the reader behind the scenes of disaster planning and reaction, it's also a funny and painfully moving memoir about Lucy's life. And, as you'll hear, Lucy is an absolute delight to spend some time with. Everything from Judy Blume to Louise Bagshawe are discussed, via Charles Dickens, Willy Russell, Caitlin Moran and the disaster management credentials of Enid Blyton. Find out more about the books mentioned on the episode by visiting our bookshop.org shop.

Kid Congo Powers has played in such beloved bands as The Cramps, The Gun Club, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and his own Pink Monkey Birds. His astonishing new memoir Some New Kind of Kick talks about growing up queer and Mexican-American in 1970s, the glam rock and punk rock scenes, music, addiction, fandom, tragedy and fun. It's utterly compelling and sure to enter the pantheon of great music memoirs. We talked to Kid about Nick Cave's book recommendations, the power of Eve Babitz, great grudge writing, appearing in the classic film Wings of Desire and the troubling book that appeared on Lux Interior's coffee table.

Raven Leilani's Luster has, quite rightly, taken the literary world by storm. As well as making Obama's 2020 book list, it's won the Kirkus Prize and been a New York Times bestseller. Sexy, funny and incredibly prescient, it is a book for our times and Raven is a writer of extreme skill and enormous promise. We talked to Raven about unlikeable characters, fantasy movie adaptations, fan fiction and sexy vampires.

]]> This week we're delighted to delve into the reading habits of a genuine living legend: Irvine Welsh! Irvine is an acclaimed and frequently controversial novelist, playwright, director screenwriter and short story writer. His first novel was the massively popular Trainspotting (turned into an equally popular film) and he has produced 10 more novels with the latest being The Seal Club, a collaboration with Alan Warner and John King. We talked to him about rereading, music books, the joys of a chunky read, the importance of Evelyn Waugh and how he may have inadvertently killed Waugh's son, Auberon.

]]> This week we’re travelling to leafy South London and visiting the glorious home of comedy legend Helen Lederer. Helen is probably best known as a trailblazing stand-up comedian and actress, appearing in such iconic shows as Absolutely Fabulous, Bottom, Girls on Top and Naked Video. But she is also a celebrated novelist and humour writer with her book Losing It nominated for the P. G. Wodehouse Comedy Literary prize. She also founded her own comedy prize CWIP - Comedy Women in Print. We talked to Helen about breasts in 1970s literature, the Four Marys, embarrassing teenage diaries and the power of funny women.

Sarah is the celebrated author of The Life Changing Magic Of Not Giving A F**k, and changed her life by moving to the Dominican Republic.

Sarah discusses discovering talent, her love of Doritos eating and the one (ONE!) physical book that she owns.

Dolly, the author of Everything I Know About Love, the co-presenter of chart topping podcast The High Low and the Sunday Times columnist, is a voracious reader. Her book filled flat yielded some serious treasures, with a library featuring names fit to grace the guest list of the ultimate paper party, from JB Priestley to…Rod Stewart. Dolly told us about the intimacy of reading and writing, the reality of sharing so much of your life with strangers and why she’ll never stop reading love stories. It must be said that she's a host nonpareil - she makes the greatest cup of coffee in the capital.
