Sarah Waters and the seasons – how better to celebrate the sunny weather we’ve been having recently? In episode 19 we look at summer and winter in books (and get tangled in what that could mean) and then talk about two Sarah Waters books. Though why we picked these two, I can’t begin to imagine. As usual, we’re all over the shop. You wouldn’t want us any other way.

Since our last episode, Rachel and I had the fun of meeting up in person with a couple of other bloggers. Find out which by listening!

As usual, please let us know which you’d choose and any topics you’d like us to cover in future episodes. Oh, and here’s our iTunes page.
