Age Inappropriate: A Podcast for Book Nerds

It's Halloween! Karen's finally done with the musical! We have two more episodes after this for season two! And we get to talk about John Saul's Second Child

Magical!

Next up: Carolyn Keene's Secrets Can Kill (Nancy Drew Files #1)

Oh my heavens, are we all in for a treat! We're reading Robin Cook's Coma and it is a true delight. We argue 1970s dude feminism, gynecological practices (also from the 70s) and learn everything about anesthesiology. Fun times!

Next up: John Saul's The Second Child

Greetings! Back to school month continues with Johanna Reiss' autofictional The Upstairs Room. Which is, on the whole, slightly less tragic than Jane Yolen. Cheers!

Next up: We're liars in the podcast, it's going to be Robin Cook's Coma to kick off October!

You've been warned, and now we're back to school with Jane Yolen's absolute classic The Devil's Arithmetic. You do not remember how brutal it is, but it's oh so important.

Next up is Johanna Reiss' The Upstairs Room, which after Devil's Arithmetic is almost light-hearted.
