Nine's TV talent reveal their summer reads

Christmas is the perfect time to sit back and relax with a good read - and Nine's TV talent have got your back. Don't bother with the must-read lists - just take a leaf out of our presenters' books and bury yourself in these...

Emmy Kubanski, Perth newsreader

"There's not enough hours in the day to get through my reading list. My first five:
 - Evicted: poverty and profit in the American city by Matthew Desmond

 - Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

 - Shoe dog by Phil Knight

 - Reset by Ellen Pao and

 - Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

"I also can't wait to get stuck into the second series of The Crown."

Georgia, The Block 2017 contestant

"Currently obsessed with a couple of Netflix series' and have recently binged watched The Sinner and Stranger Things.

"This summer I’m hanging out to watch Season Two of The Crown. I’m a royalist at heart, so this series ticks all the boxes for me."

"I’m trying to make my way through a big pile of New Yorker Magazines that I haven’t had a chance to read. I can’t wait to dive into the new U.S version of No Activity on Stan. I loved the Australian version and the characters in this one are fantastic."

Tom Steinfort, Weekend TODAY co-host

"Just finished reading "The subtle art of not giving a f***" and highly recommend it! As for TV, I only ever binge on one show over summer - the cricket."

Elyse Knowles, 2017 The Block contestant

"The book I am reading at the moment is 'Chaos to Calm - Take Control With Confidence'. I don’t have as much time to read as I would like at the moment so it will probably be coming along on holidays with me when I can really get into it."

Kate Collins, news presenter

"I’m having my second child early in the new year, so I’ll be planning on binge watching a whole bunch of shows on 9 Now’s Summer Love in those first few weeks!"

Alice Monfries, newsreader
