Richard and Judy’s books set for boost

Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan’s latest selection of book recommendations are now being championed. The couple have teamed up with retailer WH Smith, with eight authors set to receive a boost from their magic touch.

They have personally reviewed each of the books and there will also be interviews with the authors in a dedicated area of the company’s website.

The chosen books are Sister, by Rosamund Lupton; A Place of Secrets, by Rachel Hore; The Snowman, by Jo Nesbo; The Wilding, by Maria McCann; No And Me, by Delphine de Vigan; Waiting For Columbus, by Thomas Trofimuk; The Crying Tree, by Naseem Rakha; and Operation Mincemeat, by Ben Macintyre.

Ms Finnigan said: “We’ve spent a wonderful summer reading these books and enjoying them. We’re delighted that we’re working on a book club again, and that we’re now able to share our selection with everyone.”

Mr Madeley said: “The selec-tion process was incredibly difficult, but these books are page-turners that we just couldn’t put down.”

The pair will post a review each fortnight at www.whsmith.co.uk/richardandjudy, where interviews with the authors and reviewsfrom readers will also be placed.
