Chantelle Tijhaar is this week's listener reviewer, and has some great recommendations for us.

She works as a librarian, and as well as being in The Radio 2 Book Club - she's also a member of two other book groups, including a fantasy book club!

On this episode, Sara chats to Chantelle about her Top Five Reads of the year so far - and what books she's looking forward to later in the year.

Here are Chantelle's choices:

'Notes On An Execution' by Danya Kukafka

'My Father's House' by Joseph O'connor

'All The Colours Of The Dark' by Chris Whitaker

'The Great Alone' by Kirstin Hannah

'Wedding People' by Alison Espach
