Bastille singer Dan Smith, award-winning author Irenosen Okojie and library guru Simon Savidge guide you seamlessly through the sometimes daunting world of book recommendations.

Using the Novels That Shaped Our World list of 100 titles as their starting point, this trio give the low down on what your next book choice could be.

With the help of fellow book lovers such as Skin, Bobby Seagull, Vick Hope and others, let this warm bath of book recommendations bathe you in the delightful world of classics and new titles, libraries and the pleasure of reading. Expect light-hearted and conversational chat which is for book aficionados as well as reading newbies but most importantly never, ever scary.
