Hi, it's Nicky.

Yeah, and then you went and interviewed her, didn't you, afterwards?
All those books still really stand up, don't they?
Yeah.
If you're looking for a book this summer to read, these are all really good recommendations and have a listen.
And I'm going to just peel back the curtain behind the scenes for a second to tell you that our summer reading episodes are our most popular episodes.
They are.
People really like them.
yeah the reason we're we're repeating the summer reading episode from 2023 is that actually we are going to do a brand new summer reading episode for 2026 so we're sort of putting the repeats away uh this summer we'll do one probably in a fortnight um sometime before your summer holidays you'll have a brand new summer summer reading 2026 so hopefully this is a little tease they'll be back to back um recommendations for your beach your wet scottish holiday or you're lying in a
dark room however you choose to spend your your summer it'll be it'll be fun we always enjoy doing them don't we it's the plan this year we're going to pick a we're each going to pick a contemporary book and an old book as well that's the idea that's right yeah yeah yeah right so just another quick nod to a couple of other things that are going on for the subscribers over at patreon.com forward slash backlisted if you're on there now you will see that we have our readers show where we had a one of our one of our patrons has become a guest on the show and they have brought with them
