Once again, we are grateful for the miracle of modern technology that allowed us to record this episode from two locations. Chris was recovering from the flu and, to keep Emily healthy, we recorded over Zoom.
In our Just Read segment, we talk about nine very different books in a variety of genres: epic poetry, memoir, biography, and novels, including a graphic novel. Both Cougars finished THE BOOKBINDER by Pip Williams, our last readalong in our year of reading Books About Books.
Chris finally finished THE PARADISO by Dante Alighieri and is happy to have THE DIVINE COMEDY under her belt. She also finished Megan Marshall’s fascinating biography, The PEABODY SISTERS: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism. Taking a break from historically-minded reading, she listened to Ruha Benjamin’s award-winning book, VIRAL JUSTICE: How We Grow the World We Want.
Emily dove into history and read THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary by Simon Winchester. Then she switched things up with a middle-grade graphic novel, SEA CHANGE by Frank Viva. She read two books that look at grief through very different windows: Sloan Crosley’s memoir about the death of her best friend, GRIEF IS FOR PEOPLE, and a new inspirational rom-com by Emma Grey, THE LAST LOVE NOTE.
As always, we also discuss what we’re currently reading, what we look forward to reading, and Biblio Adventures. We hope you enjoy this episode, and we wish you lots of Happy Reading!
