Episode 11 | September Mid Month Catch Up

WExCast

It's time for the Mid-Month catch up episode for September! A little later than planned, but we've finally exorcised our tech-gremlins to get this episode ready for you. We've got the usual catch ups with a few of our lovely booksellers - Annabelle, Andy, Katy, Dave, and Tracey - as well as a mini autumn preview and Man Booker shortlist discussion with Tracey. Then we've got something a little different for you; a chat three of us booksellers had in the staffroom over lunch, when one of us was having a bit of a reading slump (or book block, whichever you call it). It was quite an interesting discussion (and entertaining, if we do say so ourselves) so thought you might like to hear it! We'll be back on the 1st October with our Books Of The Month and Super Thursday preview episode! What are you reading?
