While we take a little break, we're sharing just a few of our favourite ever episodes from the archives. This week we're with the author who has probably been discussed on the show more than any other and one of our favourite writers of all time - the legendary Marian Keyes! Marian is one of the most successful Irish novelists of all time, selling over 30 million books in 33 different languages. When we chatted to Marian, she was about to release the brilliant, chart-topping Grown Ups. Since then we've seen a sequel to Rachel's Holiday, Again Rachel and her latest My Favourite Mistake. We talked to Marian about the pleasures of reading, the joys of Jilly Cooper, why she's craving fictional glamour and struggling with Jane Austen. And as this episode was released on the week Daisy's novel Insatiable was launched, there's a bonus, exclusive (and steamy!) clip from the audiobook.

We're heading back into the extensive YB archives to bring you one of our favourite episodes from yesteryear. This week we’re in Central London – home of some of the greatest shops in the world and our guest, the multimillion selling superstar novelist Sophie Kinsella! Sophie is the author of over 30 books, including novels, children’s books and her hit Shopaholic series, and she’s as prolific a reader as she is a writer. Her latest is massive bestseller The Burnout. We talked to Sophie about PG Wodehouse, Jilly Cooper, sex, jokes, bums and why she ended up buying four copies of Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch.

This week, we are delving back into the archive to revisit our series 5 trip to America in the company of the incredible Taylor Jenkins Reid! When we met Taylor in 2019, Daisy Jones and the Six had just been released. It went on to be a global smash with a recent, lauded Amazon adaptation and in this episode Taylor discusses many of the books that inspired the novel. Her other books, including The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Malibu Rising and Carrie Soto is Back, have all been celebrated best-sellers. We met Taylor in West Hollywood, LA and the delightful confines of the great Book Soup bookstore and talked to her about rock memoirs, Bridget Jones, gift giving, influential reads and the delights of seeing your own book in the book shop.
