Description
Join comedians and authors Sara Pascoe and Cariad Lloyd in their Weirdos Book Club - a space for the lonely outsider to feel accepted and appreciated.
Assisted by their comedian and writer friends, each week they’ll discuss a book that is special, stimulating and y’know – weird. Welcome to your new book club!
Thank you for reading with us. We like reading with you!
Sara’s debut novel Weirdo is published by Faber & Faber and is available to pre-order here.
Cariad’s book You Are Not Alone is published by Bloomsbury and is available to buy here.
