Authors, Media/Reviewing,

Richard and Judy and Lori

Novelist Lori Lansens comes away from the U.K.’s The Richard & Judy Show with a bronze:

Devotees of the immensely influential book club run by British TV personalities Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan have voted Canadian Lori Lansens’s novel The Girls the third “best read” from among the eight books featured on The Richard & Judy Show. Lansens’s novel was featured on the show on Feb. 7 and since then it’s sold almost 175,000 copies in Britain, confirming Madeley and Finnigan’s stature as “the Oprahs of Britain.”
