As the air turns crisp and the nights draw in, get ready to settle down with host Sara Cox for the next chapter of Between The Covers, the TV book club that’s all about the pleasure of reading - from fictional debuts to classic page turners and everything in between.

Each week Sara will open the door to four new famous guests, who will bring along their all-time favourite book and share what it means to them.

Sara Cox says: “I can’t wait to get stuck into six brilliant brand new titles and six treasures from the Booker backlist. The books we’ve chosen this series I think are among the best we’ve ever had; superb writing that will entice and delight our viewers - plus of course oodles of other great reads courtesy of our superstar guests, who come clutching their favourite books to share with our awesome audience.
