Book News: Series Three of Sky Arts Book Club

Series Three of Sky Arts Book Club to start on 7th September 2022. 

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know I love a good book discussion and what better way to do that than a book club.

Following the Summer Reads Special in July, the third series of Sky Art Book Club returns tomorrow (7th September 2022.) It’s a four episode series and will run throughout September.

Presented by Elizabeth Day, Andi Oliver and literary podcaster and YouTuber, Simon Savidge, the series will feature different themes and guests each episode.

Andi Oliver is pleased to be back. She says,

“I am so thrilled to be back with my fantastic cohorts the brilliant and inspiring Elizabeth Day and the countries best read human Simon Savidge. I take such pure joy in this unadulterated celebration and exploration of books. This season is joyful, thought provoking and completely compelling and I can’t wait to share it with everyone’.

Elizabeth Day is also looking forward to the new series.

“It’s such a thrill to be back with the wonderful Andi Oliver and our resident book guru, Simon Savidge, for a whole new season of what I can entirely objectively say is one of the best books programmes around. This series, we talk to a dazzling and diverse range of authors, including big names and stellar talents, and our book clubs have not pulled their punches in asking each of our writers perceptive (and occasionally challenging) questions!

Each episode, the team will be discussing books, and not only that, they will be joined each week by a different book club to ask the authors questions.

Speaking of guests and authors, Reverend Richard Coles will be joining Elizabeth, Andi and Simon on the first episode to talk about his first novel, ‘Murder before Evensong’ and they will be delving into Jeanette Winterson’s ’12 Bytes.’

With book discussions, guests and recommendations, the third series of Sky Arts Book Club promises to be a great place for book lovers.

Simon Savidge added,

‘What I love about Book Club is that everyone can have such differing opinions on books and you never know where the conversation might lead. And if that wasn’t enough the discussion carries on over on the new FaceBook group where there’s exclusive content with me including extra interviews with authors from the show, as well as some additional prize winner authors, readalongs, vlogs and much more.’

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
