This week we're delighted to spend some time with the magnificent Coco Mellors. Coco's books, Cleopatra and Frankenstein and Blue Sisters have been frequent picks by former You're Booked guests, so it's an absolute treat to welcome her to YB Towers. We talked to her about boxing, being taught by Martin Amis, books about motherhood, her next novel and trying to find the rude bits in The Golden Notebook. Find out more about all the books mentioned by visiting our Bookshop.org store. Order your copy of Daisy's Read Yourself Happy by contacting The Margate Bookshop.
