Peach van Pletzen brings his popular YouTube talk show, Praating, to the Woordfees, where he talks with well-known readers about books. Bittereinder and bookworm Jaco van der Merwe, leading man and reading addict Beer Adriaanse, and Veronique Jephtas talk about the books that deeply moved them, left them cold or took their breath away. They recall the books that helped shape their tastes in reading, the books they learned a lot from, the books one can read over and over again, and the writers who feel like friends, mentors, and trusted conversation partners.
