"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" — Sara Cox

​

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.

​

The celebrity panellists keen to share their love of reading include Rob Delaney, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Nish Kumar, Sandi Toksvig, Richard Armitage, Ellie Taylor, Ade Edmondson, Kerry Godliman, Bill Paterson, Annie Macmanus, Chris McCausland, Alex Jones, Ben Miller, Andi Osho, Ed Byrne, Suzi Ruffell, Omari Douglas, Angela Barnes, Adam Kay, Anita Rani, Ahir Shah, Laura Smyth, Jo Brand and Miles Jupp.

​

As in previous series, each episode will feature two review sections: one spotlighting a newly published book, reflecting a mixture of styles and genres, the second a classic from The Booker Prize backlist.

​

The conversation continues on social media across the six-part series, and viewers will come away from every episode with exciting new reading lists to see them through the winter nights.
