On today's episode we are throwing it back to pod roots (OG listeners will remember this from 2022) by bringing back a Top of Your TBR episode where Hannah interviews an author about their book and the books they think should be at the top of YOUR TBR piles. For today's episode Hannah was joined by the novelist, researcher and lecturer Nat Reeve to discuss his novels Nettleblack and Earlyfate, his writing influences and the 5 books he thinks should be at the top of your reading piles. 
WRITING AGENTS - bafflingly, Nat Reeve has two amazing historical novels that are published by Cipher Press but does not have a writing agent, if you'd like to get in touch with Nat regarding representation you can find him via https://natreeve.com/
