It's weird to wrap up the weird month with a lot of weird feelings about the weird books we read. That's a weird sentence...anyway, join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we wrap up March! We open with some news about nostalgic literature getting its flowers and the new shortlist for an international award (foreshadowing our next theme at Talk Booky). The discussion moves to a few books we purchased and our TBR progress. This is where is gets...weird. Okay, I'll stop. But seriously, we read such an odd range of books this month that the conversation ranges from meticulous interpretations of queer themes in eco-thriller novels to philosophical ponderings of a ghostly woman who returns to Earth with her butt in the air like a Looney Tunes character. Get ready for plenty of laughs and some disappointments as we deliver superlatives and conclude with some random recommendations about TV and stationary. It's a packed episode, and we appreciate you listening! You can reach us at the outlets below.
