Welcome back to the Turn The Page podcast.
As we hurtle towards Halloween, this month, our episode is all about Spooky Reads. Sophie and I explain why we don't like "traditional" horror novels but why spooky reads make for perfect reading at this time of year. We share some of our favourites to help you get into the Halloween spirit, and YA author Gina Blaxill joins us to chat about her latest 'spooky read', Good Enough To Eat. Join us for spooky fun and lots of reading recommendations!
Welcome back to the Turn The Page podcast.
This month, our episode is all about Graphic Novels and Comics. Sophie and I dove headfirst into a graphic novel marathon and discovered that we seem to have a "type" when it comes to the kinds of graphic novels and comics we really love. Join us to find out what we've been reading, and why we think digital works perfectly for this format! Turn The Page Podcast: Ep 12: What Makes a Thriller? with Kathryn Foxfield and Maya MacGregor6/8/2022
Welcome back to the Turn The Page podcast.
This month, our episode is all about Thrillers. Sophie is a big thriller reader, but thrillers haven't always been my cup of tea, or so I thought. But after chatting about different books, and seeing what falls under the 'thriller' category on Goodreads, this month, we're asking the question, 'What exactly makes a thriller a thriller?' To help us out, I'll be chatting to two thriller/mystery authors, Kathryn Foxfield and Maya MacGregor about their latest books and asking them what goes into writing a gripping thriller/mystery.
It's time for our June 2022 episode of the Turn The Page podcast!
This month, we hit the road and visited the Northern Young Adult Literary Festival (NYALitFest) in Preston, England for a day of bookish fun! We enjoyed a panel on witchcraft in YA that led to a discussion on female rage, women's rights, and feminism in young adult literature, followed by a panel on diversity and inclusion in YA that demonstrated why young adult novels are so important for readers of all ages. In the panels, we heard from Ciannon Smart, Mary Watson, Finbar Hawkins, Jennifer Lane, Simon James Green, Sita Brahmachari, Cynthia So, and Kate Weston. We also caught up with YA author, Rab Ferguson, who stopped to chat with us about his debut YA novel, Landfill Mountains, a magical YA adventure that highlights the impacts of climate change. Sophie and I also share our thoughts on the panels, talk about the books we bought, and give you our slightly chaotic top tips for attending a book festival! Quick note: This is our very first attempt at recording a podcast "in the field" so we apologise in advance for any sound inconsistencies as we trial new technology and equipment which might not produce our usual recording quality. See below for a full list of the books we mentioned in this episode. Listen Here:

This month, Sophie and I decided to throw a festive bookish party to celebrate all things bookish at this time of year! In this episode, we're talking about; our favourite festive books and films, bookish traditions, our favourite books of 2020, our most anticipated 2021 reads, our November book club selection (The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith) and as always, we review our recent reads. In this special festive episode, you'll also find really awful jokes, a blindfolded book cover game (inspired by a video by Mina Reads) and ridiculous lyrics to make all your favourite festive tunes a little more bookish!
