"Bookish: How Reading Shapes Our Lives" by Lucy Mangan - audiobook review

A lovely audiobook about books, read by the author. It follows on from Bookworm, her book about childhood reading and goes through her adolescence with young adult fiction, set texts at GCSE and A-level, her English degree at Cambridge, and her adult reading. It's touching and insipring just how much Lucy Mangan loves reading. I found the last few chapters really moving, when she writes about building her own library in her second home in Norfolk during the pandemic; and her dad's death. It makes me want to read more.
