Emma Donoghue takes Graham inside her smash hit book (and film), Room, and legendary travel writer Bill Bryson divulges why he’s back at the audiobook mic. Alex Clark has titles to get us through hard times, our clubbers debate each other’s reading choices and we discover what’s hot and happening in the book charts. Come and join the Club.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Emma Donoghue's Room does include references to abuse that some listeners might find upsetting.

Our book this week is best-seller David Baldacci’s Memory Man. The clubbers decide if they’ll never forget it or whether it’s just a blank - and former Blue Peter presenter and now children’s author, Konnie Huq, tells us about bringing her Fearless Fairytales to life. Alex Clark has books inspired by big tech to press your buttons, and we spot more titles to watch in the charts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: David Baldacci’s Memory Man does include references to violent crime, including a school shooting, which some listeners might find upsetting.

Youngest ever Booker prize nominee, Leila Mottley, wrote most of Nightcrawling, when she was just 17! Graham finds out how she did it and we discover if our clubbers love it as much as the judges (and Oprah) did. Plus, comedian Al Murray’s passion for World War II history has resulted in a book to Command our attention and Sara Collins is in prize-winning mood with another set of ‘first-class’ recommendations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Nightcrawling by Leila Motley contains references to violence that some people might find upsetting. It also talks about sex work, which might not be a suitable topic for younger listeners.
