I get to introduce you to Ginny Walters today! Ginny is my friend and fellow reader and writer, and she's the one who planted the idea for this podcast in my head in the first place. In today's episode we go over our reading experiences of our first quarterly memoir read, From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle. We talk about the premise, the stranger-than-fiction feel of the narrative, and the emotional impact left by the book. Grab your copy of From the Ashes wherever you get your books, and let us know what you think!

From the Ashes on audio (highly recommended)

As a reminder, we will be reading and deep-diving one memoir a quarter, and From the Ashes is our first. This format allows us to really learn the memoir and examine it through the perspective of a reader, writer, and editor. You can find this episode online at BookishEdits.com/podcast/4.
