This week we are perusing the bookshelves of human rights campaigner, former Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer, Love Island inhabiter and all-round inspiration Camilla Thurlow! Camilla has worked for land mine charity The Halo Trust, she's a vociferous reader and has recently published her first book, a memoir, called Not The Type. During a highly revealing conversation, we talked to her about the double-edged sword that is social media, the genius of Elizabeth Day, the appeal of old books and allowing stories to leak into your life.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - InsatiableCamilla Thurlow - Not The TypeDavid Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One DayLisa Taddeo - Three WomanDavid Sedaris - Let's Explore Diabetes With OwlsKiley Reid - Such a Fun AgeElizabeth Macneal - The Doll FactoryJessie Burton - The MuseAlan Huffman - Here I AmPaul Conroy - Under the WireSebastian Junger - TribeDavid Nott - War DoctorAnna Hope - ExpectationGail Honeyman - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely FineKen Follett - Pillars of the EarthElizabeth Day - The PartyElizabeth Day - How To FailAbbi Waxman - Bookish Life of Nina HillDonatella Di Pietrantonio - A Girl ReturnedCandice Brathwaite - I Am Not Your Baby MotherNimko Ali - What We’re Told Not To Talk AboutDolly Alderton - Everything I Know About LoveDaisy Buchanan - How To Be a Grown UpMarian Keyes - Other Side of the StoryJamie Bartlett - The People Vs TechRachel DeLoache Williams - My Friend AnnaLemn Sissay - My Name is WhyGeorge Orwell - 1984Alain De Botton - School of LifeBella Mackie - Jog On See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
