Superstar Librarian Luke shares his Top Five Reads

The Radio 2 Book Club

Available for over a year

Luke Burton is one of our Superstar Librarians who helps choose our Radio 2 Book Club titles. He's now a big cheese at Arts Council England, and talks to Sara about the importance of libraries and...how he comes from a family of qualified librarians (so it really is in his blood!) He shares his Top Five Reads - and the books he's looking forward to reading this year. Here is his list: 'In the Blink of an Eye' by Jo Callaghan 'What a Way to Go' by Bella Mackie 'The Masquerades of Spring' by Ben Aaronovitch 'Killing Thatcher: The IRA, the Manhunt and the Long War on the Crown' by Roy Carroll 'American Dirt' by Jeanine Cummins
