The Beach | That Didn't Happen in the Book!

Andrew and Kirkland are back with another episode of That Didn't Happen in the Book! We've had a bit of a soggy summer to say the least, and they have decided to transport themselves to Alex Garland's The Beach for a chat.

As usual, there will be many more films, books, shows and chats along the way too. Don't miss out - grab the headphones and listen along for a fun and insightful discussion.

A Bit Grumpy | Bea's Books

It's been a bit of a poor summer so far, which has left some people feeling a bit grumpy. Even Jennie and Pari are feeling the grumps a little. So maybe listening to their latest podcast will help put a smile on your face and theirs too.

We think after a fun book chat with them, every book lover will feel a little bit less grumpy at the very least. Grab the headphones, enjoy chatty fun about books and relax with Jennie and Pari in this week's Bea's Books episode.

Twilight | That Didn't Happen in the Book!

Twilight exploded into the mainstream when the sparkly vampire family, the Cullen's, were all the book world was talking and the movie world couldn't get enough of brooding looks from Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart.

But what we all want to know is, what did Andrew and Kirkland from That Didn't Happen in the Book! think of them?

Grab the headphones to find out and followed with an all-round discussion of the explosion of vampire fiction, film and TV that seemed to follow quickly after.

Stepps Forward

We are very excited about the news that we are reopening Stepps Library on Monday 15 July 2024.

Not Bridget Jones | That Didn't Happen in the Book!

We have a new That Didn't Happen in the Book! episode of our For the Love of Books podcast for you, however it's not quite what you might expect!

Andrew and Kirkland had planned to chat about Bridget Jones's Diary - but life got in the way. So in this episode they chat about some of their favourite (and least favourite) book-to-film adaptations as well as some from listeners as well.
