[17] The story centres around four women who attend the local community centre for a pottery class. They all have problems. The characters are likeable, interesting and believable. A story of friendships, that are heartwarming and funny. This enjoyable read held my attention throughout. I’ve now read quite a few of the books featured on Between The Covers. Most have them have been really good, but there are a few that have really stayed with me. In 2017, Cox appeared on Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit and was on Steve's team in the show.

Emma Cahusac, Commissioner for BBC Arts, says: “The first series of Between The Covers sparked a national conversation about books, so I’m delighted it’s returning with another fantastic line up.

I look forward to working my way through the reading list, and joining in the conversation on social media during each episode.” In series four Sara Cox talks to the guests about their favourite books as well as a new release and a ‘Big Jubilee Read’.

[27]It is light, pure escapism and a comforting, gentle story but although there IS humour, it isn't what I would call laugh out loud! James Gill (10 August 2012).

In 2009 she joined the 10:10 project in a bid to help her reduce her carbon footprint. She explained that, as she was brought up on a farm, she has no problem wearing extra layers instead of turning up the thermostat.

[ citation needed] Sara Cox, Jo Whiley and Edith Bowman pretty much kept me company for my teenage years via their Radio One shows and now Sara Cox keeps me company via Radio Two (I know I’m getting old) so it wouldn’t be unfair to say I’ve grown up with her anecdotes and Bolton-ish ways. I don’t know if she qualifies as a national treasure yet but I imagine that’s only a matter of time, a consensus that could only been expedited by ‘Till the cows come home’ her memoir that details the first 20 years of her life.

I’m not really good with my own thoughts in a quiet room – I don’t know if it’s something I should be worried about. When I’m doing mundane things, I just want a little chat going on in my ear. Likable, largely middle-class men in their 50s are my thing at the moment. I’ve got Louis Theroux, Adam Buxton, David Mitchell and not remotely middle-class Bob Mortimer, whose And Away autobiography is great. I read all the Judy Blume books and obviously The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. Riders and Polo combined some fruity frolics and horses and that blew my 15-year-old mind. English lit A-level really brought Shakespeare to life – I read Romeo and Juliet with my sister before she went away to London, cuddled up on a top bunk.
