Programme Features

Read any good books lately? Or do you find there just aren't enough hours in the day to sit down and turn the page of your favourite novel.

Well the BBC Book Worms can help you. Each month our book reviewers will join Mark Seaman to have a chat and give their views on our chosen book of the month and we want to know what you think.

The Book Club is also a great opportunity to get some advice on what book to pack for your summer hols or that weekend away or just when you fancy curling up on the sofa.

Book shops from around the county will be letting you know what their top ten best sellers are and local libraries will be telling us what your borrowing from your local library. 

Meet our July BBC Bookworms

These are our BBC bookworms for July

For Sarah, talking about books is far more than a hobby.

The Wiltshire author and lecture spends much of her time reading, writing and running writing courses at Bristol University. Sarah's latest book is 'Nice Girls do'                         

Ian's business, 'The Wiltshire Tea' company keeps him very busy so he doesn't usually have much time to enjoy a good book.

Ian hopes becoming a BBC Book Worm will help him get back into reading and will encourage him to dust off his book shelves add a few new additions.

Books Reviewed this month:

This month our BBC Book Worms reviewed four four Penguin Classics.
'She' by H Rider Haggard, 'The Riddle of the Sands' by Erskine Childers, 'The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle and 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' by John Buchan.
