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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrimming 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.","brand":"Lucy Mangan","offers":[{"title":"Random House UK |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2026-04-28","offer_id":47340788547839,"sku":"9781529967180","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e15dfa7a-08ae-4406-9438-0ad10f267bf7.jpg?v=1760025997","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781529967180","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
