Ann an Leugh Mi bi Anna Nicleòid a' còmhradh ri dithis neach mu na trì leabhraichean as fheàrr leotha agus a' faighinn a-mach barrachd mu am beatha.

An t-seachdain seo bi Alasdair MacCaluim a' bruidhinn mun togail a fhuair e ann an Stepps, faisg air Glaschu, agus mu obair ann am Pàrlamaid na h-Alba. Ach bi a thaghadh leabhraichean gar toirt gu saoghal eile agus e gu h-àraid measail air ùirsgeul saidheans. 'S ann às Uibhist a Deas a tha Sarah NicEachainn agus nuair nach bi i trang ag eadar-theangachadh leabhraichean chloinne bi an leughadh aice-se ga toirt bho linntean ro-eachraidh gu muirt ann an Leòdhas an là an-diugh.

A' bharrachd air bruidhinn mu na leabhraichean as fheàrr leotha tha gach duine air moladh aon dhiubh sin dha chèile airson a leughadh agus gheibh sinn a-mach anns a' phrògram cò dhiù an do chòrd na leabhraichean riutha no nach do chòrd!

In Leugh Mi, 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, Alasdair MacCalum talks about his upbringing in Stepps, near Glasgow, and his work as a Gaelic development officer in the Scottish Parliament. His reading, however, takes us to different worlds and dimensions, as he talks about his passion for science fiction.

Sarah MacEachen is from South Uist, where she works translating children's books into Gaelic. When not doing that, her own choice of books takes us from conflict in prehistoric times to a tale of murder on the Isle of Lewis. 

In addition to discussing their favourite books, each guest has chosen a book for the other to read, and we'll find out in the programme whether they enjoyed it - or not!
