‘A bookworm’s delight’ Sara Collins
‘Funny, warm and charming’ Marian Keyes
‘Like butter on toast: perfect’ Caitlin Moran

A love letter to all those who come alive when they pull a new treasure off the shelf, stay up late reading just one more page and pack their suitcases with clothes wedged between books instead of the other way around.

From well-worn literary classics to steamy bonkbusters, gripping thrillers, young adult novels and other not-so-guilty pleasures Bookish brims with literary insights, wry observations and stellar recommendations. This is an ode to the bookish places – from local libraries to bookshops big and small – and the stories that make us who we are.

‘Comforting, funny and moving – Bookish is wonderful to curl up with on good days and bad’ Sali Hughes
‘An affectionate, warm guide on the healing power of reading’ i News
‘Mangan makes for a wonderfully incisive critic and can pick apart a George Orwell with the same perspicacity with which she can, say, a Jack Reacher’ Observer
