A bookchat podcast from Ramsgate, England hosted by bookshop owner Sapphire Bates and archivist Joseph Dance.
This is the podcast for the big readers and the book lovers. Once a month we deep dive on one particular book - maybe an old favourite, or something new and exciting - and we will read and discuss it.
The rest of the time we are spoiler free covering everything from new releases, old gems you might have missed, long lists, short lists, author spotlights as well as the occasional interview. We’ll also chat about what culture we’ve consumed each week, and take questions from you, our lovely listeners.
If you love to read, come hang out with Novel Thoughts!
