More legends of literature are dropping by as we welcome bestselling author and crime icon Paula Hawkins! Paula's first book was the phenomenal The Girl on the Train which sold over 20 million copies and was translated into over 50 languages. She followed it up with the bestsellers Into the Water and A Slow Fire Burning. Her latest is the highly anticipated The Blue Hour. We talked to her about art books, the writers so good they make you want to give up, great authors from Zimbabwe and being disappointed by a lack of Wombles. Find out more about all the books mentioned by visiting our Bookshop.org store. Preorder your copy of Daisy's new book Read Yourself Happy by contacting The Margate Bookshop and see book tour dates and find out about Daisy's Creative Confidence Clinic writing course at Daisy's Substack.
