This week we are delighted to have a rummage around the bookshelves of writer and presenter C.D. (Cesca) Major! Cesca is the prolific author of the bestselling thriller The Other Girl and also writes under the pseudonyms Rosie Blake and Ruby Hummingbird, producing a variety of brilliant books. We talked to her about Jilly Cooper, literary sisters, funny books, Christmas reads and writing something so scary you can't read it yourself.
