Even after her parents split up, she spent a lot of time at the farm and obviously has a lot of affection for it. There is yet so much potential, given the breadth of topics which can be explored, such as the empty nest syndrome, the emerging skeletons within a marriage and childlessness. The six new book picks provide an interesting mix of genres and authors and the aspiration is to get people reading and trying books that they might not otherwise have picked up. Her parents separated when she was six or seven, after which she moved with her mother and a sister to another house in the same village.

Sara Cox: ‘There were some tears, some “I can’t do this”’

The various stories she remembers and tells evokes different emotions for you as a reader, from her own use of language and emotions that clearly come through in her writing.But it is Ed, of all unlikely people, who will take Nat down the path of political anger that will ensnare them all. In July 2007, Cox presented London Live on Channel 4, and appeared as a guest star on the Sky1 show Angela and Friends in November 2009 [20] and as guest presenter in January 2010.

I must admit I was left craving for more though and would love to know how each of the character stories continue so I really hope this will become a series! They will all be sharing their BYOBs – the book they want to share with the world, because it really means something to them: some are surprising, some are classics and some will be new to the audience but the hope is that viewers will come away from every episode with an exciting new reading list.I really only know Sara Cox (and there's a reason why I left the h on in the first sentance - read to find out why) from the radio, first Radio 1, and these days with the drivetime slot on BBC Radio 2 (wish they'd given her the breakfast slot). She's the decade before me as she's a 70s baby, so her childhood and especially her teenager hood seems very grown up to me, ha ha, as I was still very wee when she was off clubbing in Manchester to the Happy Mondays. The youngest of five siblings, Sara grew up on her father's cattle farm surrounded by dogs, cows, horses, fields and lots of 'cack'. This is less like reading a book, and more like spending a long night in the pub with Coxy, listening to her tell her tale, as it is written very much in her style of speaking - packed with jokes, self-deprecation and daftness. until, soon after, the newly married couple’s home is bombed, and Will awakes from the wreckage to find himself alone.

The characters were so fully formed and vividly described that they all came to life instantly for me and I felt completely invested in each of their stories. The book is a memoir of her younger years and is a fond look back at her childhood and teenage years and up until her first presenting job in television.My only sight criticism is it was a little predictable at times but it was such a fun read I didn’t mind that too much. For this complete Between The Covers books list, I’ll start with the books picked for the most recent series, and then detail the previous series below. When I started the book I found it so poorly written that I nearly gave up but I think I'm glad I continued. Sara Cox is Bolton born and bred and this is the story of her childhood with the book ending before she became the celebrity she is today.

The chapters are short and the tone is cheery - even given the occasional traumatic episode - making for an undemanding (in the best way) interlude in the company of a charming hostess.To tackle the growing threat from Moscow Centre, Nat is put in charge of The Haven, a defunct substation of London General with a rag-tag band of spies. Sindhu says: It's a book about a woman who discovers her mother's extremely colourful, and quite scary and horrifying, past - after her mother has died.
