Anns an t-sreath ùr Leugh Mi bi Anna Nicleòid a' còmhradh ri dithis neach gach seachdain mu na leabhraichean as fheàrr leotha agus a' faighinn a-mach barrachd mu'm beatha.

An t-seachdain seo bi Anna Mhàrtainn agus Ciorstaidh NicIlleathain a' tadhail air Anna. Thug leabhar sònraichte gu aire Anna Mhàrtainn eachdraidh dhoirbh nan tùsanach an Astràilia ach mìnichidh i cuideachd cho cudromach 's a tha aon leabhar chloinne gu h-àraid dhith fhèin agus an teaghlach.

Tha taghadh leabhraichean Ciorstaidh NicIlleathain ga toirt a dh'Astràilia cuideachd, àite a breith, ach tha ùirsgeul stèidhichte air an dàrna cogadh air buaidh a thoirt oirre cuideachd.

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

In this series Anna Macleod is in conversation with two guests each week about their favourite books and also finds out more about their lives. In this programme we hear from Anna Martin and Kirsty Maclean about their Australian connections, amongst other things.

One book in particular revealed to Anna Martin the turbulent history of Australia's aborigines, but she also explains why a certain children's storybook means so much to her and her family.

Kirsty Maclean's book choices also take her back to Australia, the land of her birth, and she also reveals how two novels centred on World War II have had an impact on her.

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 program whether they enjoyed it - or not!
