Rocketship Reads

Bookmarked London

In the not-too-distant future, earth is in peril. 

In preparation for global meltdown, we are sending people into space aboard a tiny rocketship.

They can take with them 7 books.

The first 5 are their favourites, the 6th is one they hate so much they get to throw it into space to consign it to obscurity, and the 7th is the book they would commit to the cannon, for which humanity will be remembered.

Co-produced by Bookmarked London and Morocco Bound Bookshop, and hosted by Adam RW, welcome to Rocketship Reads.
