Join us as we welcome Eleanor Goymer as she celebrates the debut of her newest novel Ask Me What I'm Reading. Perfect for fans of One Day and Talking at Night. Every morning, Sophie boards the same train. Every morning, she spots him – tall, unreadable, always with a novel in hand…often the same one she is reading. Soon, their commute becomes a silent exchange of titles, a game only they seem to be playing. But how long can a love story stay between the lines before someone dares to take it off the page…Ask Me What I’m Reading is a slow-burn romance about chance encounters, the love of books and the quiet thrill of meeting someone who just gets it. Eleanor Goymer spent many years working in publishing in London. Originally from the UK, Eleanor now lives and works in the US, where she is a publishing consultant and editor. When not reading and writing, Eleanor likes to spend her time musing on how much the US is not like London.
