Celebrity Book Club

Episode 10 - The Finale!! This months book is Dances and Dreams on Diamond Street written by Craig Revel Horwood. This is the book that started off the whole podcast project. One cold dark wintery evening whilst stood in Sainsburys I read the blurb to this book and realised that 'holy shit! There must be thousands of books written by celebrities that are bat shit crazy!!' and here we are. 10 Episodes later and 10 terrible books read and series 1 has drawn to a close. We hope to come back with a series 2 but in the meantime will be doing one off specials. We hope you enjoy this final episode!

Hello!! On this months episode we discuss the novel Shopgirl written by Steve Martin. I (Adam) was hesistant to read this book for several reasons. Firstly, Steve Martin is a childhood hero of mine I struggled to believed he would write a bad book. Secondly, as Steve Martin is an accomplished author, playwrite, actor and musician I thought this book would be too good and therefore would be a funny one for us a review and there myself and Helen would have to do some actual work and be proper reviewers of books. Enjoy!! 

Wenches on benches! It is time for this month's podcast episode!  This month's epsiode is Viking written by Fabio. We discuss the rampant sexism and sex scenes. As well as the odd time travel element to this novel that seemingly has little to no pay off except for Fabio taking credit for introducing ancient Vikings to the concept of a chimney. We take a look at the personal life of Fabio as well as discuss the time he killed a Goose with his face and when he released an album of strange love ballards. Enjoy!

Hello!! We are back after a brief and unexpected break in our schedule. This months episode we discuss the novel 'The Perfect Letter; written by US television host Chris Harrison. This steamy novel had some problematic romantic themes and relationships but was a gold mine of online reviews! We also reveal the novel for the next episode. Enjoy!!

On this months episode we discuss the second novel written by film and television actor Isla Fisher. Full disclosure this episode was recorded a few days after we had both recovered from covid and 8 days inside with one another had definitely sent us a little doolally. We hope you enjoy the episode 6!!

Episode 5!! We are half way through series 1 and on this episode we are joined by a special guest - my dad! He joins us to discuss the 90s London set crime thriller 'Framed' written by snooker champion Ronnie O'Sullivan. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!! And what better way to start the year than a brand new episode of Celebrity Book Club. This months episode we discuss the comic book 'Superman - True Brit' which looks to reimagine the origins of Superman and discusses what if Superman had been raised by British parents in Weston-super-mare. This comic book was co written by John Cleese and has a few trade mark Monty Pythonisms contained with in. Enjoy!!

Episode 2! This weeks episode relates to the novel Dollhouse written by Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian. We try and work out what is fact and what is fiction between the lives of the Kardashians and the Romeros. Enjoy!

We discuss Fan Tan a book that was surprisingly published 2005 (despite the rampant racism) and was written by Marlon Brando and Donald Cammell. Amazon describes the book as - When Annie gets out of prison, she thanks him with an offer of inconceivable wealth if he will join her in the biggest act of piracy of her career. Madame Lai is a seductive and powerful ally, but Annie is about to discover that she can be an even more powerful-and dangerous-enemy.-With his longtime collaborator, screenwriter and director Donald Cammell, Brando worked on this story for years. The result is a rollicking, swashbuckling delectable romp of a novel - the last surprise from an ever-surprising legend. We have some alternative thoughts on this novel

A brief introduction of who we are and why we are doing what we are doing. More episodes to come soon.
