If the girls didn't say it enough times, they're now partners of the British Book Awards and therefore want to sincerely apologise for saying the food at said awards will be dry. They're sure it will be properly seasoned.

This is the first of three bumper author episodes. The girls talk about schoolgirl crushes, playground fight clubs and the brilliant book Grown with the authors Melissa Cummings-Quarry and Natalie A. Carter, and the complicated and multifaceted fact of home with the author of the lyrical debut Keeping the House, Tice Cin. 

As well as the usual nonsense, there are area wars when the podcasters (two thirds South London and one third East) venture to Tottenham, book recommendations, and speculation on how much alcohol the Bookseller will be providing. 

Bonne chance!
