Hosted ByDaisy Buchanan

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.

BONUS: The Sisterhood: The Christmas Chapter

December 24, 2019 00:15:55

As a Christmas treat, here’s the Christmas chapter from The Sisterhood by Daisy Buchanan, published by Headline and now available as an audiobook from Audible. Imagine living between the pages ofPride And Prejudice,in the Bennett household. Now, imagine how the Bennett girls as they’d be in the 21st century – looking like the Kardashian sisters, but behaving like the Simpsons. This is the house Daisy Buchanan grew up in. The Sisterhoodexplores what it’s like to live as a modern woman by examining some examples close to home – her adored and infuriating sisters. As Daisy states: “‘My five sisters are the only women I would ever kill for. And they are the only women I have ever wanted to kill.” And at Christmas, family traditions, and family tensions, are exposed. Get ready for fairy dresses, ghost stories, cosy planning and very bad, gift-related, behaviour.
