Bookish
The highly anticipated sequel to BOOKWORM about how books of all kinds delight, guide, comfort and strengthen us throughout our adult lives.
'A bookworm's delight' - Sara Collins
'Funny, warm and charming' - Marian Keyes
'Like butter on toast - perfect' - Caitlin Moran
A love letter to all those who come alive when they pull a new treasure off the shelf, stay up late reading just one more page, and pack their suitcases with clothes wedged between books instead of the other way around.
From well-worn literary classics to steamy bonkbusters, gripping thrillers, young adult novels and other not-so-guilty pleasures, Bookish brims with literary insights, wry observations, and stellar recommendations. This is an ode to the bookish places - from local libraries to bookshops big and small - and the stories that make us who we are.
'Comforting, funny and moving - Bookish is wonderful to curl up with on good days and bad' - Sali Hughes
'An affectionate, warm guide on the healing power of reading' - i News
'Mangan makes for a wonderfully incisive critic and can pick apart a George Orwell with the same perspicacity with which she can, say, a Jack Reacher' - Observer
