A love letter to all those who come alive when they pull a new treasure off the shelf, stay up late reading just one more page and pack their suitcases with clothes wedged between books instead of the other way around.

From exploring the stacks as a student, to finding her feet as a bookseller-turned-journalist, falling for a fellow bookworm in an independent bookshop, escaping the doldrums of new motherhood and finally building a (book) room of her own, Bookish is the story of a life spent falling in love with reading. Bookworm author Lucy Mangan chronicles her years of buying, borrowing and hoarding everything from well-worn literary classics to steamy bonkbusters, gripping thrillers, young adult novels and other not-so-guilty pleasures.

Brimming with literary insights, wry observations and stellar recommendations, this book is an ode to the bookish places – from local libraries to bookstores big and small – and the stories that make us who we are.

Lucy Mangan is a journalist - now the Guardian's television critic - and author. Her first book, Hopscotch & Handbags: the Truth About Being a Girl, came out in 2007, her latest in 2018 (Bookworm: a Memoir of Childhood Reading) and due in Ocotber 2021 is her debut novel whose title is currently being argued over. In between she has acquired a husband, a child, a house and two cats - not quite in that order - and a severe sleep deficit. But that's mainly because she won't stop reading til one o'clock in the morning now that her mother can't tell her off.
