Lucy Loves What Sarah Read Next LUCY LOVES

This week’s guest is the brilliant Sarah Gwonyoma. Sarah is the founder of the Instagram account ‘What Sarah Read Next’ a place where she shares her reviews and recommendations of books she loves. I love it when people can turn their passion into something wonderful, not only for themselves but for so many others. We discuss why she started blogging and reviewing books, how reading helped her through grief, being a guest speaker at the upcoming Happy Place Festival and so much more.
