Listen on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts. Hello, with me today is the poet, playwright and broadcaster Lem Sisse, whose landmark poems adorn public spaces in Manchester, London and Addis Ababa, and who among much else was official poet to the FA Cup 2015.

Lem's memoir, My Name is Why, comes out later this year.

Jackson Lamb and his staff of variously messed-up spies, of which volume six, called

Joe Country, will be published in June.

Mick's latest standalone thriller, this is what happened, is now out in paperback.

But before we discover his and Lem's choice of a good read,

You'll see what guests such as Gemma Kearney, Romish Ranganathanathan, Stacey Dooley and Stephen Fry have recommended, and each week we'll post the latest book choices.
