Book publishing giant Penguin has announced it will launch a new event series called ‘At Home with Penguin’, featuring its portfolio of beloved authors broadcasting live from their respective homes.

To kick things off, the ever-lovable Marian Keyes will welcome readers into her Dublin home on Tuesday April 7 at 5pm by sharing what she has been reading, watching and pondering while in isolation.

The livestream will be available to view on Penguin Book’s Facebook page and the At Home with Penguin programme will be updated regularly on its site.

Also in the lineup for the coming weeks is a session with cookbook author Melissa Hemsley who will talk daily routines, reading inspiration and answering viewer’s questions live.

Feminist campaigner, and author of Invisible Women, Caroline Criado Perez will share book recommendations and tips for staying connected in the coming weeks; and Pointless co-host Richard Osman will chat to fans about what's on his current reading list. The date of each of these events is currently TBC.

Penguin says: “At Home with Penguin is a chance for fans and readers to connect with their best-loved authors in an intimate, friendly way. No thousand-seater arenas here – just human discussion in the living rooms, kitchens and studies of your favourite writers.

“In these extraordinary circumstances, some of our best-loved authors will open up their homes, share how they are handling life indoors and the books they are turning to. The floor will also open up to the audience for questions to kick-start a conversation between book lovers, all in it together.”
