Springtime pollen is sapping both our brains, but fortunately this podcast was never very serious to start with, and we’re hoping you won’t notice. We do “hoping you won’t notice a thing” by loudly and repeatedly talking about the thing. Our transparency is part of our charm, we dearly hope. This podcast, we’re chatting about some of the oldest and newest books we possess, and then Whiskey Jenny breaks her Helen Oyeyemi tie by falling in total love with Gingerbread. (Yay!)

Leave a Comment Listeners, I got my first electricity bill since summer began in earnest, and I am delighted to report that it is NOT THAT BAD. My central air and heat has caused me some stress and dismay over the last year, but it’s all proving worth it.

If not, I hope that you are finding other ways to keep cool, and I commend to your ears this, our latest podcast. We read Lily Anderson’s YA horror novel Undead Girl Gang and suggest some candidates for Great American Authorship who aren’t white dudes. Plus, what we’re reading, what we’re listening to, and what we’ll be reading for next time.

Leave a CommentDid you hear that I went to London? My beautiful London! I haven’t been to London since 2009, in spite of my very intense love for it, so it was great to be reunited. I went with my lovely mum and my lovely friend Alice, which was an absolute treat all around. We had Ethiopian food and Persian food and delicious gnocchi and Pieminister pies, and I bought, um, a certain quantity of books. The thing is, London has kind of a lot of excellent bookshops, and I had left a lot of spare room in my suitcase, so. I…
