Lucy Mangan: How Reading Shapes Our Lives

Many open books laid out together

About

Writer, reviewer and broadcaster Lucy Mangan has used books to navigate the challenges and complexities of this world throughout her life.
From finding her feet as a bookseller-turned-journalist, falling for a fellow bookworm in an independent bookshop, escaping the doldrums of new motherhood and finally building a (book) room of her own, Bookish is the story of a life spent falling in love with reading.
Come and hear about her years of buying, borrowing and hoarding everything from well-worn literary classics to steamy bonkbusters, gripping thrillers, young adult novels and other not-so-guilty pleasures. You’ll leave with stellar recommendations and a reminder of how books help us when we feel lost.

‘Lucy Mangan on books is like butter on toast: perfect' Caitlin Moran
