You Should Read: Our most anticipated July releases!
June 29, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 51.6 MBOh, Should-Heads. After the expensive months that were May and June, things are slowing down a little bit. (But only a little bit.) There are great books coming out this month, too, but July looks to be more of a reading month than a buying month. Our wallets and library hold lists are feeling very grateful for this.

May 11, 2021 06:00 - 51 minutes - 35.6 MBHi, Should-Heads! Today, we are so excited to share our conversation with Alena Dillon! Her second novel, The Happiest Girl in the World, was one of Julia's most anticipated books for April and for good reason. It's a ripped-from-the-headlines story that's infuriating and devastating in equal measure. Currently Reading: Julia: Tokyo Ever After (Emiko Jean), What Comes After (JoAnne Tompkins) and The Galaxy and the Ground Within (Becky Chambers) Kelly: In the Event of Contact (Ethel Rohan...

April 13, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 47.1 MBHi, Should-Heads! Today, Miracle Creek author Angie Kim comes back to discuss Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's our third book club book, and we absolutely loved it. There's a lot to ponder (what makes us human? can we ever be 100% known, even by ourselves?) and it would take multiple episodes to fully cover this book. Buy it, read it, listen to this episode and then find us on social media to discuss it. We'll definitely have even more to say. Links mentioned in this episode: Ang...

We're huge fans of hers and if you aren't already, this episode will do the trick. She's got some great recommendations and we didn't think it was possible but somehow we've gotten even more excited for Incense and Sensibility (out July 6). Other books mentioned in this episode: You, Me, and the Sea (Meg Donohue, inspired by Wuthering Heights), Meg and ...
You Should Read: Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations (with K. Ancrum!)
March 30, 2021 04:00 - 51 minutes - 35.6 MBHello, Should-Heads! Why do we love retellings so much? Why is it so fun and (honestly a little comforting) to read these tales as old as time? We ponder these questions, share our favorite ones and debate where the line is between "homage" and "fanfiction."

You Should Read: Temporary (with author Hilary Leichter!)
March 09, 2021 06:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MBOh, Should-Heads! If you haven't read Temporary, you are doing yourself a real disservice. It's clever and funny, but don't take our word for it. It's also received excellent reviews from The New York Times, The Washington Post and made Best Of 2020 lists from NPR and Publisher's Weekly and many more outlets. As we approach the first anniversary of quarantine, this is a book that will be the best possible distraction. Thank you so much for author Hilary Leichter, who is well versed in the ru...

I'm mentioning that so if you think "Hey, they seem a little rattled," you'll know why. Today, in a departure from our usual format, we're discussing books we aren't reading.
