We're heading back into the extensive YB archives to bring you one of our favourite episodes from yesteryear. This week we’re in Central London – home of some of the greatest shops in the world and our guest, the multimillion selling superstar novelist Sophie Kinsella! Sophie is the author of over 30 books, including novels, children’s books and her hit Shopaholic series, and she’s as prolific a reader as she is a writer. Her latest is massive bestseller The Burnout. We talked to Sophie about PG Wodehouse, Jilly Cooper, sex, jokes, bums and why she ended up buying four copies of Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch. (And, as you'll hear, it was our first introduction to the brilliant (and later YB guest) Katherine Heiny! Find a full list of the books Sophie mentioned at our Bookshop.Org store.
