A Case for Books | The Bookwanderers Club: Katherine Rundell @ACaseforBooks | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Episode Seventeen of The Bookwanderers Club, a live book club on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 2pm while schools are closed due to COVID-19.

Katherine Rundell, author of books including Rooftoppers, The Explorer and The Good Thieves, joins Anna to talk about editing her new project, The Book of Hopes, what she's been reading on lockdown, and how an old film inspired her.

You can read The Book of Hopes here: literacytrust.org.uk/family-zone/9-12/book-hopes

Katherine's writing prompt is to think about the "what ifs" that are at the heart of every story and to write twenty "what if" questions which could be the start of a story, before choosing your favourite to your story about.

The bookshops Katherine recommends are:
Primrose Hill Books in London: primrosehillbooks.com
Booka Bookshop in Oswestry: bookabookshop.co.uk
