_'LUCY MANGAN ON BOOKS IS LIKE BUTTER ON TOAST: PERFECT'__ Caitlin Moran _ Lucy Mangan is a columnist for _Stylist_ magazine and a reviewer for _The Guardian_, _The Telegraph_ and many other publications. She broadcasts frequently on radio and occasionally on television, and is the author _Bookworm: A Memoir of Childhood Reading, My Family and Other Disasters_, _The Reluctant Bride_, _Hopscotch and Handbags_ and _Inside Charlie's Chocolate Factory_. _Bookish_ is Lucy's love letter to all those who come alive when they pull a new treasure off the shelf, stay up late reading just one more page and pack their suitcases with clothes wedged between books instead of the other way around. _ From exploring the stacks as a student, to finding her feet as a bookseller-turned-journalist, falling for a fellow bookworm in an independent bookshop, escaping the doldrums of new motherhood and finally building a (book) room of her own, Bookish is the story of a life spent falling in love with reading._ _Bookworm author Lucy Mangan chronicles her years of buying, borrowing and hoarding everything from well-worn literary classics to steamy bonkbusters, gripping thrillers, young adult novels and other not-so-guilty pleasures. _ _Brimming with literary insights, wry observations and stellar recommendations, this book is an ode to the bookish places - from local libraries to bookstores big and small - and the stories that make us who we are._
