Join three old school friends: Fi, Annie and Sophie, as we talk books of all shapes and sizes. Fi is our resident scientist and compulsive buyer of books, Annie is a future Doctor of English Literature and bringer of our literary credentials and Sophie's a former Eng Lit student and chronic non-finisher of books. Together we are aiming to read at least one book a month and for the rest of it be very loud about our book (and non-book related) opinions.

Welcome back to the Lazy Sunday Book Club! This week we're doing a bit of a wrap up style episode where we talk about a couple of books each that we've been reading over the past few months... and whales -- they're just so big. We'll likely be doing one of these every few months, so we hope you enjoy!
Books discussed:
October book club: The Lighthouse Witches by C. J. Cooke.

Welcome back to the Lazy Sunday Book Club on this two-for-one weekend! We wanted to keep the schedule up, but we didn't have a new episode ready to go so we've pulled an old one out of the archives for you instead all about... reading slumps! This was recorded about four months ago when we were relaunching, so some of it's a bit out of date, but we hope you enjoy it all the same as we talk all about those dreaded downs that sometimes hit you as a reader.
Spooky October Book Club book: The Lighthouse Witches by C. J. Cooke.
