Sara and guests will also be featuring some of the most anticipated publications. Here are fourteen titles which will make an appearance in the series that have been published in the last 12 months and that readers will be talking about this autumn. All the authors will be appearing on Between The Covers in the weeks to come. On the Inventor's Estate (so called because the streets are named after inventors) the local community centre is starting a pottery class. The story centres around four women who are all changed by this event. Friendships are made, lives go through their ups & downs & at the end of the course they have all been made into someone that bit different. I grew up half on my dad’s farm but half on a little council estate nearby. I liked the cosiness and wanted to reflect that. I could also picture the layout in my mind – the community centre, the little doctors… I read all the Judy Blume books and obviously The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. Riders and Polo combined some fruity frolics and horses and that blew my 15-year-old mind. English lit A-level really brought Shakespeare to life – I read Romeo and Juliet with my sister before she went away to London, cuddled up on a top bunk.Don’t get me started. I’ve been in London longer than I lived up north but on my dad’s side I come from generations and generations of farmers and then it’s screeched to a halt with us five – we’re lawyers and artists and NHS workers. I think a bit of that might come through in my next book. The dream is a smallholding one day – I’ve got a horse now, Nelly, so I’m getting there. She’s really my escape. Griff says: “This is pure comfort and joy. I’ve read a lot of books about The Beatles but this is easily the most joyous read because it’s not just full of information about The Beatles … it also looks at the world around them.” United Kingdom: Ana Matronic replaces Sara Cox".
