Tubby & Coos Book Shop | Novel Ideas #79: Once Bitten @tubbyandcoos | Uploaded April 2018 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Wherein I shamelessly promote our new Goodreads discussion group, get VERY excited about new Sandman comics, rave about some excellent SFF books written by women of color, make a pretty bad joke about Octavia Butler’s Fledgling, and talk New Orleans Poetry Festival with Bill Lavender.

Like our music? That’s “Brave” by Jonathan Coulton, off his newest album Solid State. More at www.jonathancoulton.com.

We have a new Goodreads discussion group! Please join and talk to us about books: goodreads.com/group/show/520115-tubby-coo-s-gets-lit

We’ll be slinging books and making mischief at the Saints & Sinners Literary Festival coming up March 23-25. Stop by and say hello! sasfest.org
