Hollie spoke to Michael Bennett about his latest book in the Hana Westerman series, Return to Blood.
It also seems like Michael might have the best work/life balance going on.
This morning, on @95bfm_breakfast, Suri reviewed the new novel by Tommy Orange.
Wandering Stars is painful, beautiful and at times funny, this piercing companion to There, There strikes at the heart and offers human truths impossible to look away from.

Jenna's latest @95bfm_breakfast review is now available to listen!
French author Eilsa Shua Dusapin (Winter in Sokcho) is back with another atomospheric novel. Nathalie arrives in Vladivostok to work on costumes for the Russian bar trio who are preparing their dangerous routine for the winter circus season.
This book captures a snapshot of a creative and physical undertaking by a small team of people. Punchy sentences, a sense of danger and a strong sense of place enrich Dusapin’s prose.
