S5 Ep1: Bookshelfie: Gabby Logan

Join this season’s new host Vick Hope as she talks to Gabby Logan MBE, sports presenter and former gymnast, about the three M’s – midlife, motherhood and her MBE. 

Gabby is a broadcaster, prolific writer, podcaster and former gymnast. She became a familiar face on our TV screens in the 1990s, and since then has presented every major sporting event in the UK. In 2020 she received an MBE for services to sports broadcasting and the promotion of women in sport. Gabby tells us about the loves and losses in her life, through the books by women that have influenced her.

 

Gabby’s book choices are: 

** How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran

** The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 ¾ by Sue Townsend

** The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan

** This Book Will Save Your Life by AM Homes 

** Life after Life by Kate Atkinson
