For the first time ever Paul, Holly and Lara gathered in the
library stacks in Wrexham and not on Zoom to record this episode. That’s why it is a slightly longer episode than normal but the conversation was too good to
cut! We cover everything including audiobooks, Les Miserables, whether Wombles and Moomins share the same DNA, the joys and pitfalls of genre fiction
including sci-fi.
