Welcome back to “On the Sofa with British Mums”! Today we’re getting properly cosy and chatting about all things books. Emma is joined by Jen and Nicola, the brilliant women behind our British Mums morning and evening book clubs, plus a very special guest… Emma's Mum is Michelle May Martin, a newly published UAE author.

In this episode, we’re talking about the joy of a great holiday read, the books that leave a mark long after you’ve turned the last page, and those stories you press into a friend’s hand, saying, “You have to read this.” We also dive into why stories matter so much—for comfort, escapism, starting big conversations, and helping us feel a little less alone.

From page-turning holiday recommendations to the reality of writing and publishing a first book, there’s plenty here for every kind of reader. So grab a cuppa, maybe your current read, and settle in for a warm, bookish chat with the British Mums community
