We talk about how she built her platform from an attic room, why she accidentally became “the book drama girl”, and how a video about the Kindle price conspiracy changed everything. Then I put ten controversial bookish opinions to her, from celebrity authors and chart-buying to DNFs, free books from publishers and whether you really have to read the acknowledgements. And of course, the all-important biscuit question.</p><p>Before that, it’s week one of our book club read, <a href=\"https://uk.bookshop.org/search?keywords=the+only+one+left+riley+sager\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Only One Left by Riley Sager</a>.
