Description

Laura Battle, Deputy Books Editor at the Financial Times, tells us how social media, especially #BookTok, has changed the global publishing industry and gives her own recommendations for summer reading. And Ella Berthoud, a ‘bibliotherapist’ who uses the power of books to help people through tough times and who wrote ‘The Novel Cure: An A to Z of Literary Remedies’ lists her favourite escapist fiction. The interviews in this episode were previously published on the World Economic Forum Bookclub Podcast.
