This week on You're Booked we're talking to the hugely acclaimed, bestselling author Lauren Groff! Lauren is our favourite type of guest - a massive, voracious and indiscriminate reader. Lauren is the three-time National Book Award finalist and The New York Times–bestselling author of the novels The Monsters of Templeton, Arcadia, Fates and Furies and Matrix plus the short story collections Delicate Edible Birds and Florida. Her latest book is the amazing The Vaster Wilds. We talked to her about inappropriate early (caveman) reads, the joy of a huge book, Shakespeare's suckiest plays and reading poetry to your dog.
