Mark Watson - You're Booked

This week we are snuffling around the bookshelves of comedian and author Mark Watson! Mark is a well-known face on British TV, appearing on show such as QI and Taskmaster and he's renowned as an award-winning stand-up. He's also the author of nine books including the graphic novel Dan and Sam, the non-fiction work Crap at the Environment and novels including Eleven, Hotel Alpha and his latest Contacts (which deals with issues surrounding suicide and mental health - if you're affected by this then the Samaritans are always there). We talked to him about loving Agatha Christie, bookshop positioning, reading on planes and why you should never trust a book that features a map. For details on how you can bid to be a guest on You're Booked (and win lots of lovely books) head to Books To Nourish.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - InsatiableMark Watson - ContactsDerren Brown - HappyDerren Brown - A Little HappierJames Smythe - I Still DreamTaylor Jenkins Reid - Daisy Jones and the SixSarah Waters - Little StrangerSarah Waters - FingersmithAgatha Christie - Murder on the Orient ExpressAgatha Christie - A Murder is AnnouncedRichard Powers - The OverstoryLucy Ellmann - Ducks, NewburyportRos Barber - Marlowe PapersAnn Patchett - State of WonderAnn Patchett - Dutch HouseJilly Cooper - Between the CoversEL Doctorow - RagtimeMohsin Hamid - How To Get Filthy Rich in Rising AsiaMohsin Hamid - Exit WestMohsin Hamid - Reluctant FundamentalistGeorge Orwell - 1984Extinction Rebellion - This is Not a DrillJonathan Safran Foer - We Are The WeatherJonathan Safran Foer - Everything is IlluminatedDaphne Du Maurier - Rule BritanniaDavid Nicholls - One DayFlann O’Brien - Third PolicemanJohn Fowles - MagusFlann O’Brien - At Swim Two Birds Hosted on Acast.
