Where do we like to read? And books inspired by Virginia Woolf. It’s a very ‘us’ episode.
In the first half of this episode, we’re adopting a question suggested by Teddy – reading at home vs reading elsewhere – and discuss our favourite places to read (alongside some wonderful suggestions from some Patreon patrons. Check out our Patreon page!) In the second half, we look at two books inspired by Virginia Woolf – one is Mrs Woolf and the Servants by Alison Light (non-fiction), and the other is The Hours by Michael Cunningham. It was a really fun discussion!
We also talk more about tea than usual, just to even things out.
Check us out on iTunes, rate/review us through your podcast app etc (even if you think I laugh too much ;) ), and don’t forget you can find us on Spotify too. Do get in touch if you have any ideas for future episodes – we always love hearing from you.
