Art @ Bookshelf Odyssey | Reading the Classics with special guest Mimi Matthews | Bookshelf Odyssey Podcast @ArtBookshelfOdyssey | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
Today we're talking about the classics, and I have a special guest to join with me: Mimi Matthews. She's the author of such works as "The Belle of Belgrave Square" and the gender swapped retelling mashup of Jane Eyre and another gothic horror classic, entitled "John Eyre". This was a wonderful interview that easily could have been a million hours long - we chat a little bit about our pets, give book recommendations, and writing tips, but the majority of the episode we talk about her books and the joy of reading the classics!
