Description

Dream guest alert! We are very, very excited to welcome the wonderful Jenny Jackson to You're Booked! As well as being the author of smash hit novel Pineapple Street, Jenny has been a book editor for many years working with such YB faves as Katherine Heiny and Helen Fielding. So we had much to talk about. On the agenda is the genius of Laurie Colwin, the joy (and stress) of discovering new authors, some great, secret Katherine Heiny insight and Helen Fielding's paramedic skills (plus the recording is interrupted by a cheese alarm!) This conversation took place at the fabulous Mr B's Emporium bookshop in Bath.Daisy will be attending the Queen's Reading Room Festival, look out for exclusive behind the scenes content on her Instagram page @TheDaisyBee.

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.
