S6E7: The Bridges of Madison County- Cayce Osborne
February 14, 2024 05:00 - 54 minutes - 75.1 MBHi, everyone! Unfortunately, circumstances are way outside my control and this is the last episode of FBOL. I want to thank you all endlessly for being such an amazing community and audience. I had some fantastic books on the schedule, but because all of my equipment is toast and I don't know where I'll be living, when, and for how long, recording new episodes is off the table. The person who finds me with the best Attic Wife joke gets my enduring love. Please send some support to Cayce ...

5: Under the Tuscan Sun - Lynne Streeter Childress
January 31, 2024 05:00 - 38 minutes - 52.9 MBI am not above telling you that I suffered through our last three books. They were awful, and they made me sad, not in the way that TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES made me sad, but sad for real life people. But this book doesn't. Not one bit. Lynne Childress's podcast, FINE BEATS AND CHEESES, is also a wonderful time, so please do go listen to it. They're incredible.

25: 4:50 From Paddington - Taverlee Laskauskas
October 05, 2022 17:34 - 24 minutes - 33.5 MBMy wonderful, dear friend Tav (http://www.twitter.com/taverleejaye) is here to discuss another Agatha Christie stalwart: Miss Marple. One of the most essential whodunnits of its time, 4:50 FROM PADDINGTON has a cast of characters who are all, and I quote myself, "low-grade shitty." The Tommy & Tuppence/Miss Marple mashup mentioned at the end is BY THE PRICKING OF MY THUMBS.

22: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler - Jessie Losch
September 14, 2022 04:00 - 40 minutes - 56.3 MBThe dynamite Jessie Losch (https://twitter.com/JessieLosch) is here to guide me through one of her favorite childhood books– one I'd never read before and maybe got more magic out of as an adult than I know I would have as a child. I make a few references to Charlotte's Web, but I decided to hold off on that ep until next week. Rest assured, it is coming in due time! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
