Hannah gives us the behind-the-scene details of getting a literary agent (aka "book pimp"), after 14 years of working on it, and chats up her "Nora and Wes Save the Summer" (not to be confused with "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist"), looking to normalize social and emotional learning for younger kids. Plus, Sam's reading of "Hench" leads to an extended discussion on behind-the-scenes superhero novels, which leads eventually into why Hannah doesn't like graphic novels, why no one seems to care that Jimmy Page was regularly bedding underage girls in Los Angeles, space books where "going to look for a new planet to live on" is a thing, the difference in approach between "Diary of a Young Girl" and "MAUS," Hannah's difficulty finishing books, and then stories where it's unclear whether either Sam or Hannah saved someone's life. Eventually we remember to tell you that Peter Ho Davies will be a guest at our March 1 Book Club meeting.
