Description

This week we're travelling to South-East London and the lovely, award-winning home of writer, stand-up and podcast host Jenny Eclair! As well as being a legendary comedian and familiar face on our TV screens thanks to shows like Grumpy Old Women and Loose Women, Jenny is the author of many books including the novels Moving, Having a Lovely Time and, her latest, Inheritance. We talked to her about the joy of audiobooks, writing habits, sub-par city guides and comedy versus writing.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - The SisterhoodJenny Eclair - InheritanceDavid Nicholls - Sweet SorrowAnna Hope - ExpectationTaffy Brodesser-Akner - Fleishman is in TroubleJohn Niven - Straight White MaleTayari Jones - An American MarriageClare Mackintosh - After The EndKat Gordon - An Unsuitable WomanCressida Connolly - After The PartyLynne Reid Banks - The L Shaped RoomNancy Mitford - The Pursuit of LoveJane Gardam - Old FilthJenny Eclair - The Book of Bad BehaviourErin Kelly - Stone MothersErin Kelly - He Said She SaidJonathan Coe - What a Carve UpJonathan Coe - Middle EnglandAyisha Malik - This Green and Pleasant LandAlan Hollinghurst - The Line of BeautyAnna Burns - MilkmanTaylor Jenkins Reid - Daisy Jones and the SixAndrea Lawlor - Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal GirlRaymond Chandler - Farewell My LovelyJenny Eclair - MovingSue Townsend - Secret Diary of Adrian MoleNina Stibbe - Love NinaJamie Oliver - 5 IngredientsYotam Ottolenghi - SimpleBarbara Kingsover - The LacunaBruno Vincent - Five Go ParentingJill Dawson - The Language of BirdsJill Dawson - Fred and EdieAlice Munro - Selected StoriesPhoebe Eclair-Powell - National Theatre ConnectionsJenny Eclair - Grumpy Old CouplesShappi Khorsandi - Nina is Not OKJennifer Egan - Visit From the Goon SquadJennifer Egan - Manhattan BeachMary Roach - BonkCharlotte Roche- WetlandsLeïla Slimani - AdeleLeïla Slimani- LullabyRobert Galbraith - Lethal WhiteJilly Cooper - Man Who Made Husbands JealousDavid Friend - Vanity Fair’s Hollywood See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
