We had a great time talking with Erin Flanagan and Katrina Kittle. Both authors have new books coming out: COME WITH ME (8/22) and MORNING IN THIS BROKEN WORLD (9/1). Don’t miss our Author Spotlight conversation with them at the end of the episode.
What We’ve Just Read:
Emily: LET US DESCEND by Jesmyn Ward (out 10/3), a tough but rewarding read, and Peter Heller’s new release THE LAST RANGER, set in Yellowstone National Park.
Chris: A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS by Paul Tremblay – a contemporary twisty tale of possession set in Beverly, Massachusetts, a town that was swept up in the Witch Delusion of 1692
We had two fantastic Biblio Adventures. The first was a work day at Simmons University in Boston after which we saw Laura Sims (HOW CAN I HELP YOU) and Paul Tremblay (THE BEAST YOU ARE: STORIES) in conversation at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, MA. The second was local to us: we lunched at the French bistro Cocotte which is inside the historic James Pharmacy before heading across the street to the Hart House Museum to see their new exhibit, “Family Matters: Inspiration and Insights from the Lives of Anna Louise James and Ann Petry.”
As always, we talk about a whole bunch of books. Happy listening, and then Happy Reading!
