Twins! Podcasting! In June 2021! Yes, it has taken me a whole year to get around to editing this episode. That’s why Colin is banging on about football. But what even is time – enjoy episode 15 of a very out-of-date podcast.

Olivia Manning, Cicely Hamilton and dreams – welcome to episode 104 of ‘Tea or Books?’!

In the second half, we compare two novels about couples on the brink of World Wars – The Great Fortune by Olivia Manning and William – an Englishman by Cicely Hamilton.
The podcasts I was a guest on are Lost Ladies of Lit and The Mookse and the Gripes – go and check them out!

Apologies for the unexpected delay in recording. Blame Rachel! But we are here and raring to go. In the first half, we follow a topic suggested by Mairad (topic ideas to teaorbooks@gmail.com, please!) – do we prefer books that make us think, or books that make us feel?
In the second half, two novels that ended up having more in common than we initially imagined – Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively and The Diviners by Margaret Laurence. And no, despite the lengthy break, ONE of us hadn’t finished reading the books.

Tea or Books? #101: Rachel explores Simon’s shelves
Rachel takes a look at Simon’s bookshelves – will she take any books away with her??
Way back in episode 70, I was in Rachel’s flat in London and took a look around her bookcases. We planned a return visit… and then the pandemic happened. But now travel and visiting is easier, we have finally got around to organising Rachel coming out to rural West Oxfordshire to look at my bookcases.
Trailing around with a mic was a bit tricky, so the sound isn’t perfect – but hopefully plenty to enjoy nonetheless.

Tea or Books?: Any questions?
Rachel and I are recording episode 100 of Tea or Books? soon and, like episode 50, it’s going to be a special Q&A. So we’d love to hear your questions – and many thanks to those who’ve already sent them in.
Basically, ask anything you like – about books, about tea, about podcasting, about our lives. Just pop them in the comments below, or email teaorbooks@gmail.com
And Rachel’s new mic seemed to go down well on ep99, so hopefully those issues are sorted, at least to an extent… thank you for your patience with us.
P.S. I will be continuing #NovellasInNovember over the weekend, but I’m going to wait until Monday to do a round-up of what I read.
Tea or Books? #99: Do We Like Essays? and Brook Evans vs The Crowded Street
Winifred Holtby, Susan Glaspell, and essays – welcome to episode 99!
Sorry for an unintended long break, but we’re back and Rachel even has a new mic – hopefully has helped with the sound issues, though there may be some teething problems while we get used to it. (I do my best but I am certainly not a professional editor!)
Don’t forget – we would love your questions for episode 100. Do send questions to teaorbooks@gmail.com, on anything you’d like to know about – from books to podcasting to tea to anything else.
In this episode, in the first half we talk about essays – and it is surprising that we haven’t done it before. In the second half, we compare two Persephone books – Winifred Holtby’s The Crowded Street and Susan Glaspell’s Brook Evans.
We’d love to hear from you – and please do review and rate the podcast, which you can find on iTunes, Spotify, or your podcast app of choice. And you can find us on Patreon too.

I got to be a guest on Backlisted!
If you read my blog, I’m almost certain you already know about the Backlisted podcast. ‘Giving new life to old books’ is their tagline, and Andy and John (and editor/producer Nicky) do a wonderful job of discussing many brilliant backlisted titles. They often do authors that Rachel and I have also covered on ‘Tea or Books?’ – our tastes certainly overlap a lot.
I started listening around the time they launched, and I’ve always had a secret dream to be invited as a guest – and was so delighted to be asked onto the episode about Cassandra at the Wedding by Dorothy Baker. It’s such a brilliant novel, and the best one about twins out there.
Alexandra Pringle (head of Bloomsbury, and once of Virago) had chosen the book and was the other guest, and the four of us had a wonderful time discussing Cassandra at the Wedding. It was every bit as joyful an experience as I’d have hoped. Thanks so much for having me, John and Andy!
You can listen via your podcast app of choice – or on their website, where you’ll find lots of other info.
Tea or Books? #98: Nature Writing (yes or no) and Favourite Women Prize Winners
Nature writing and some favourite novels by prizewinning women – welcome to episode 98!
As mentioned in the podcast – we’d love to hear your questions as we gear up for our hundredth episode. Just email teaorbooks@gmail.com, or put your questions in the comments to this post.
In the first half of the episode, we decide whether or not we like nature writing. In the second half, we have postponed our discussion of The Crowded Street by Winifred Holtby and Brook Evans by Susan Glaspell – instead, Rachel and I both pick three favourite books by women that have won prizes.
Do get in touch if you have any suggestions for topics we should do – and you can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Patreon etc etc. We’d love you to rate and review us, if you can.
