Web page

Overall very happy with this light entertaining book show but at the end Graham says a full list of all books mentioned are on his web page.
Where is this??? The program notes beside episodes do not list the books, usually just mentioning guests.
If I’m driving it’s very frustrating. Can anyone help?

A feel-good podcast

Just the ticket when you aren't in the mood for anything too heavy or that will require a lot of concentration. But still really interesting interviews with writers and audiobook narrators, and a fun book club group.

Great for walking & listening & chuckling along

This is an entertaining, insightful, light hearted book club...imbued with Graham Norton's cheery wit. I love to listen to this and have been inspired to look at different books and think about authors and reviews. I really love this series and I hope it continues ..

Loving this!

I am enjoying this series and now have a long list of titles to read based on these reviews, and of titles I would never have noticed of considered otherwise - including the additional audible genre lists they discuss. Love the Author interviews and the book clubbers. it's a brilliant mix and Graham delivers with his usual humour and interview style.
Will look forward to more in the series.

So disappointed

I was really excited to download Graham's book club but am really disappointed. It seems to be a mish mash of jumping around to different people and topics. The group only discuss the main book for a few minutes. This is not what I am looking for. I want a more in depth discussion and different people's viewpoints on the nominated book.
