Caitlin Moran talks to Laurence Mozafari

My Life in Books

Hay Festival 2026, 

Caitlin Moran LOVES reading. Growing up, the library was her salvation. "I had all of history and time and gossip and adventure and love waiting for me at the library," she says. Reading soon led to writing. She was a Times columnist by the age of 18, and has gone on to become a best-selling author and award-winning journalist.

In this special session to celebrate Caitlin's passion for reading, she shares the books that have had the greatest impact on her throughout her life. She's in conversation with Laurence Mozafari from the British Society of Magazine Editors.
