Good Luck With the Book

Join Sarah and Jamie as they discuss the new books they love, along plenty of news, stories and chats. The books featured and reviewed vary from the literary to lighthearted, from sport (hmm... maybe!) to children’s literature. Their only criteria is that they adore the book and want to tell everyone about it. A happy little something to wake up to on a Sunday morning. Best served with a large coffee and a pastry.

    And Just Like That… There Was a Good Luck With The Book Special

    To celebrate the launch of ‘And Just Like That’ on 9 December, Sarah and Jamie will be having a drink and reviewing episode one for a ‘Sex and the City’ revival special. With the iconic show getting a mention on nearly every episode of Good Luck with the Book (somehow!), it was an opportunity too good to miss. Of course, there’ll be plenty of book talk too. Find out what Sarah and Jamie have loved reading this autumn, what are their all-time favourite Christmas reads, and what they will be tucking into in 2022.

    Sarah and Hungry Jamie

    Sarah and Jamie review the 2021 Dublin One City One Book selection, Leonard and Hungry Paul. Leonard and Hungry Paul are friends, in their thirties, who view life rather differently.
