Anna Macleod talks to two guests about their favourite books. In this episode, Sarah Fraser and Iona Brown discuss the books which have made an impact on their lives.

Bi Anna Nicleòid a' còmhradh ri dithis eile mu na leabhraichean as fheàrr leotha agus a' faighinn a-mach barrachd mu'm beatha. An t-seachdain-sa 's e dà thidsear a bhios a' deànamh an taghaidh: thogadh Sarah Fhriseal ann an Uibhist a Tuath agus cluinnear mun leughadh a bhiodh I a' deànamh an sin. An-diugh ge tà tha leabhraichean còcaireachd a cheart cho cudthromach dhi ri uirsgeul Lochlannach neo 'Scandi-noir'.

'S ann à Tiriodh a tha Iona NicIlleDhuinn agus tha i an-diugh a' teagasg ann an Uibhist a Deas. Tha an taghadh leabhraichean aice a' gabhail a-steach an sgaradh eadar daoine geala is dubha an Ameireaga agus leabhar òrain a th'air a dheagh chleachdadh! A' bharrachd air a bhith a' bruidhinn mu na leabhraichean as fheàrr leotha tha iad air moladh aon dhiubh sin dha chèile son a leughadh agus gheibh sinn a-mach an do chòrd na leabhraichean riutha - neo nach do chòrd!

Anna Macleod is in conversation with two guests in each episode about their favourite books and also finds out more about their lives. In this episode two teachers discuss their choices.

Sarah Fraser talks about her childhood reading in North Uist, and how today she is as likely to be found leafing through cake books as she is reading the latest Scandi-noir thriller. Iona Brown is from Tiree and now teaches in South Uist. Her book choices range from a look at racial tensions in America's deep south in the 1960s to a well-thumbed collection of Gaelic song.

As well as discussing their favourite books, each guest has chosen one of these books for the other to read, and we'll find out in the program whether they enjoyed it or not!
