This week we consume quite a few books with special emphasis on Kate Moore's narrative non-fiction Radium Girls. We also meet Bibliophage's new cook in the literary kitchen, Jennifer Nance, reader, mom, and assistant extraordinaire. Seriously, she's just the best assistant an author and podcaster like Gwenna could ever have. Focused, encouraging, never misses a deadline or accidentally mass copies several brands. Assistance perfection in the shape of a middle-aged Oklahoma mom. No, Jennifer didn't write this show description. Why do you ask?

Be sure to pre-order Gwenna's new book, Thinky Thoughts!

To check out the books we discussed on this episode and others head to our Bookshop.Org store. Every purchase you make from that link supports this podcast, the authors, and an independent bookstore. Win win win.
