Summer Reading 2023 - Rerun

from Backlisted Hosted by Backlisted

Over here in the UK, we are well and truly into summer: some of us have World Cup fever, and others... have not. To celebrate the continuing balm, we are rerunning one of our classic summer reading episodes from 2023, where John, Andy and Nicky choose six books, old and new: O Caledonia by Elspeth Barker; Sheep’s Clothing by Celia Dale; The Stirrings: A Memoir in Northern Time by Catherine Taylor; Old God’s Time by Sebastian Barry; A Spell of Good Things by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀; and The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds by John Higgs. * To purchase any of the books mentioned in this episode please visit our bookshop at ⁠uk.bookshop.org/shop/backlisted⁠ where all profits help to sustain this podcast and UK independent bookshops. * For information about everything mentioned in this episode visit ⁠www.backlisted.fm⁠ *If you'd like to support the show and join in with the book chat, listen without adverts, receive the show early and get extra bonus episodes and original writing, become a patron at ⁠www.patreon.com/backlisted⁠ + there's a free trial week. *You can sign up to our free monthly newsletter ⁠here⁠
