The Bookshelf with Ryan Tubridy

Ryan’s glowing review of Toy Story 5, why he’s counting down the hours until The Odyssey, and the Andy Serkis interview that led to an unexpected debate about why Caesar from Planet of the Apes has so many female admirers. Plus, Robert Harris’s latest historical epic, holiday reading recommendations, the crime novel built around Japan’s real-life “disappearing” agencies, and why your local charity bookshop might be the best place to discover your next great read.
