About Being Bookish
UK-based avid reader and big book lover. I talk about books and reading. In addition to recommending books across genres, including science fiction, fantasy, romantasy, cosy mystery, and speculative fiction, I never spoil the ending. I also have the incredible opportunity to speak with authors at different stages of their writing careers, from their debut to their 20th book! Episodes are released every other Tuesday, with bonus author interviews and episodes about Stephen King novels.
