    We welcome the delightful Lauren from Lauren and the Books to the podcast today. She and Sarah chat about what they're currently reading, and chat about a different type of book: cookbooks! High-quality, vegetarian-friendly cookbooks can be hard to find, so they talk through some of the ones that they have returned to again and again, their all-time favourites, and some that they've loved in the past. We hope you enjoy the episode, and as always, if there is something you'd like us to discuss, please let us know!

    We are in your ears today recommending memoirs! Chris and Sarah welcome Belle to the podcast, a friend of Sarah's and a patreon of the pod. They chat what they think a memoir is, why they like to read them, and make some recommendations. Chris also reveals his real and controversial opinions about UK currency. Hope you enjoy the episode!

    PS the eagle-eared listener may notice that Sarah claimed in this episode that she had not read Happening, when last episode it was something she was currently reading. These episodes were recorded in reverse order, so she did pick it up immediately after talking to Belle and loved it! <3
