In this special episode of Confessions of a Book Collector, I sat down with the brilliant actor and author Richard Armitage, a true bibliophile whose life has always been shaped by story.

We talk about his new novel The Cut, and many other many books.

If every book was like @lexnoteboom.bsky.social’s β€œThe Man With a Thousand Faces,” I’d sell my TV.

392 pages, devoured breathlessly.

This is why I read.

A moment that changed me: I found my first grey pubic hair While women in their 50s are dismissed as hags, bags or crones, men get to be silver foxes. Suddenly I realised why women try so hard to fend off signs of ageing

Goldsboro Books PREM1ER Book Club: Celebrating 20 years. A Testament t Twenty years ago, I started a book club with a simple idea: to curate and share exceptional fiction with people who love books as much as I do. It was also an opportunity to expand my reading habit. Rather than keep reading in my comfort zone, I wanted to explore other genres and books I might not have read otherwise.
