Abi Daré - You're Booked

We are so, so excited about this one. Abi Daré wrote one of our favourite books of all time, the unforgettable novel The Girl with the Louding Voice. She has just released a sequel And So I Roar, which is just as compelling and delightful as the original. In a fascinating, revealing conversation, Abi discusses the contents of her 'Do Not Delete' folder, the importance of showing up for work, the power of the Famous Five, inspirational re-reads and the happiness experienced when a character's voice returns to you. Find out more about all the books mentioned by visiting our Bookshop.org store.

Welcome to You’re Booked, the podcast for literary nosy parkers who would like the chance to snoop around their favourite authors’ bookshelves.I’m Daisy Buchanan, your Book Inspector, and I’ll be asking our guests all about the first forbidden books they read under the covers, the beloved books they have borrowed, and never given back, and those impressive heavyweight hardbacks that make them look like intellectual giants – even though they couldn’t get beyond the first twenty pages.We’ll also be talking about what makes readers into writers, how our guests became book lovers and their favourite reading memories, all with a dash of intelligence and a dollop of irreverence. Our guests include Dolly Alderton, Nina Stibbe, Nikesh Shukla, and many more favourites from our own bookshelves. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
