For our very, very special Christmas extravaganza we visit the Cornwall home of the brilliant Nina Stibbe. Nina is the celebrated author of the beloved memoir Love Nina, plus the novels Paradise Lodge and Man at the Helm. Her collection of festive stories An Almost Perfect Christmas is an ideal gift at any time of year. We talked about funny books, Harry Potter, suspect driving instructors and, of course, Adrian Mole.BOOKS (Click on the titles to find out more)Nina Stibbe - Love NinaNina Stibbe - Man at the HelmNina Stibbe - Paradise LodgeNina Stibbe - An Almost Perfect ChristmasNina Stibbe - Reasons To Be CheerfulMargaret Drabble - The MillstoneEdna O'Brien - The Country GirlsTina Brown - The Vanity Fair DiariesLissa Evans - Old BaggageJK Rowling - Harry Potter Complete CollectionSue Townsend - The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4David Sedaris - CalypsoDavid Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One DayDavid Sedaris - Let's Explore Diabetes With OwlsPatrick Gale - Take Nothing With YouAndy Stanton - You're a Bad Man Mr GumJeff Kinney - Diary of a Wimpy KidRoger Hargreaves - Mr MenLucy Mangan - BookwormJulia Donaldson - Room on the BroomGarth Jennings - The Wildest CowboyLucia Berlin - A Manual For Cleaning WomenGeorge & Weedon Grossmith - Diary of a NobodyPaul Ewen - Francis Plug - How To Be a Public AuthorCaitlin Moran - How To Build a GirlJackie Collins - The World is Full of Married MenColleen McCullough - The Thorn BirdsAndrew Sean Greer - LessDM Thomas - The White HotelEdward St Aubyn - The Patrick Melrose NovelsAnthony Powell - Dance To The Music of TimeMaria Semple - Where'd You Go Bernadette?Katherine Heiny - Standard DeviationElizabeth McKenzie - The Portable VeblenGail Honeyman - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to You’re Booked, the podcast for literary nosy parkers who would like the chance to snoop around their favourite authors’ bookshelves.I’m Daisy Buchanan, your Book Inspector, and I’ll be asking our guests all about the first forbidden books they read under the covers, the beloved books they have borrowed, and never given back, and those impressive heavyweight hardbacks that make them look like intellectual giants – even though they couldn’t get beyond the first twenty pages.We’ll also be talking about what makes readers into writers, how our guests became book lovers and their favourite reading memories, all with a dash of intelligence and a dollop of irreverence. Our guests include Dolly Alderton, Nina Stibbe, Nikesh Shukla, and many more favourites from our own bookshelves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
