Join me while I drink a Fat Pug Oatmeal Milk Stout and snuggle with my own Fat Pug.  We’re going to be talking about the first book in the Broken Earth Trilogy, The Fifth Season, by N.K. Jemisin.  As a bonus this week, the first person to email with the correct number of times you can hear my Fat Pug shake his collar in this week’s episode will win a free copy of N.K. Jemisin’s book The Fifth Season.  

Correction: I recommend the Southern Charm on Netflix, the actual name of the show I was talking about is Sweet Magnolias.

Is it a thriller?  Is it a story about re-birth? Is it a fantasy novel?  It’s all of that and more!  Join me this week while I indulge in the decadent Raspberry Lambic from Lindeman’s Brewery.  We’ll talk about Ladies of the Secret Circus by Constance Sayers and I’ll try to explain why I pronounce potato as “potata”.
