This week we are in the esteemed company of novelist, journalist, broadcaster and all-around inspiration, the wonderful Dawn O'Porter! Dawn is the author of the bestselling mega-hits The Cows, So Lucky, Cat Lady and her latest is the highly anticipated sequel to Paper Aeroplanes and Goose, Honey Bee. She has presented a vast array of television documentaries and hosts the 'Dawn Loves' WH Smith book club. We talked to her about the genius of Jeanette Winterson, inappropriate honeymoon beach reading, books about farts and how deviating from the TBR pile can lead you to your new favourite book.
