You are in for a treat! As stated during the show, this week's guest is the 'platonic ideal of a You're Booked guest'. Lucy Easthope is one of the UK's leading authorities on emergency planning, a Professor in Practice of Risk and Hazard, co-founder of the After Disaster Network and has advised on nearly every major disaster of the past two decades, including 9/11, the 7/7 bombings, Grenfell and the Covid-19 pandemic. Her book When the Dust Settles is a Sunday Times bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. As well as taking the reader behind the scenes of disaster planning and reaction, it's also a funny and painfully moving memoir about Lucy's life. And, as you'll hear, Lucy is an absolute delight to spend some time with. Everything from Judy Blume to Louise Bagshawe are discussed, via Charles Dickens, Willy Russell, Caitlin Moran and the disaster management credentials of Enid Blyton. Find out more about the books mentioned on the episode by visiting our bookshop.org shop.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - InsatiableDaisy Buchanan - CareeringLucy Easthope - When the Dust SettlesAlan Cumming - BaggageMinnie Driver - Managing ExpectationsGavin Francis - RecoveryJasper Rees - Victoria Wood: Let's Do ItMyleene Klass - They Don't Teach This at SchoolCaitlin Moran - How To Be a WomanCaitlin Moran - How To Be a GirlHelen Fielding - Bridget Jones's DiaryFrancis Hodgson Burnett - A Little PrincessJudy Blume - ForeverCharles Dickens - Christmas CarolCharles Dickens - David CopperfieldCharles Dickens - Great ExpectationsCharles Dickens - Bleak HouseCharles Dickens - Oliver TwistEnid Blyton - Famous FiveEnid Blyton - Secret SevenEnid Blyton - Brer RabbitBrian Jacques - RedwallWilly Russell - Our Day OutWilly Russell - Blood BrothersJudy Blume - Tiger EyesBeverly Cleary - RamonaElizabeth Laird - Red Sky in the MorningPatricia Cornwell - From Potter's FieldJane Austen - Collected WorksJacqueline Wilson - The Story of Tracey BeakerFrancesca Simon - Horrid HenryJane Fallon - Just Got RealMelanie Rice - Pompeii: the Day a City Was BuriedIan Schott - World Famous DictatorsSue Townsend - Secret Diary of Adrian MoleSue Townsend - The Queen and IDaisy Buchanan - Burn Before ReadingSheryl Sandberg - Lean InSheryl Sandberg - Option BJade Goody - Forever in My HeartIlan Kelman - Disaster By ChoiceSamantha Montano - DisasterologyGill Kernick - Catastrophe and Systemic ChangeCathy Rentzenbrink - Write It All DownLouise Bagshawe - Career GirlsMaeve Binchy - CollectionCathy Rentzenbrink - A Manual For HeartacheVal McDermid - Christmas is MurderAndrew Doig - This Mortal CoilRichard E Grant - A Pocketful of HappinessMatthew Perry - Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible ThingAlan Rickman - DiariesAnna Kent - Frontline Midwife Hosted on Acast.
