In which I weigh in on objectivity vs subjectivity in book reviews, wonder how privilege intersects with reading cozy books, and celebrate everything from matzoh and vaccine side effects to mysteries, cherry blossoms, and publication proofs.
I start with some personal updates.
Bookish conversation starts at 4:59
Objectivity vs. subjectivity starts at 11:02
Don’t miss the conversation led by Brian @BookishTexan, who also links to all the other participants before him.
