Telegraph writer and podcaster Bryony Gordon is with poet and author Hollie McNish on this week's A Good Read.
Bryony loves Rachel’s Holiday by her writing hero Marian Keyes; Hollie hoped the The Queen’s Gambit by Walter Tevis would improve her chess; and Harriett Gilbert finds both absurdity and pain in Reasons to be Cheerful by Nina Stibbe.
Producer: Sarah Goodman
