The Book Club Review Weekend, Episode 9: From Shortlist to Spotlight, our take on the Booker winner

Plus new reads and new projects

In this week's edition join me (Kate), Phil Chaffee and Sarah Oliver over a glass of inexpensive sparkling wine and a Zoom feed as we watched the Booker Ceremony. You'll hear our in-the-moment reactions to the winner, plus Laura and Martin Volk sent their thoughts. We'll look at some interesting context for The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden one of our Patreon friends sent me, and then it's time to put the Booker behind us for 2024, and turn to the delightful question of what to read next. Laura and I will update you on our currently reading piles and I'm excited about a new project.
