Description

We cross the Atlantic to catch up with Claire Handscombe, presenter and producer of BritLit, a fortnightly podcast that tracks what's going on in the British publishing world. We talk about Claire's novel Unscripted, which she highly recommends as a beach read, whether you're able to go to an actual beach or just have to make do with a deckchair in your garden. Claire also gives us a shelf's worth of great book recommendations, plus some top tips for anyone thinking of making a books podcast of their own.  • Books mentioned in this episode:  Unscripted by Claire Handscombe Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng Little Fires Everywhere by Celest Ng The Roxy Letters by Mary Pauline Lowry The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid Rules for Being a Girl by Candice Bushnell and Katy Cotugno What You Wish For by Katherine Center Head over Heels by Hannah Orenstein The Book of Hidden Wonders by Polly Crosby • For more details on Claire, check out her website Britlitblog.com.

Kate and Laura on the books that get you talking. Every episode we sit down to chat about the books read most recently by our book clubs. What did we make of them? Did they spark debate? And whether we loved them or loathed them, we always try to answer the big question: were they great book club books?
