Welcome back Bookends to another Bonus books episode where we were joined by the powerhouse that is Daisy Buchanan! A journalist, novelist and host of a number of brilliant podcast series including the fan favourite 'You're Booked', we were delighted to have Bookend royalty on the podcast and her recommendations are certainly not in short supply!

TW: This conversation includes mention of difficult topics such as sexual assault and cancer which may be triggering for some, listen with care.

Aswell as deep diving into her brilliant new novel, we discuss online/offline identities, bodies and autonomy, sisterhood and so much more, we hope you love this episode as much as we do!
