Mushrooms! Librarians! Serial killer victims brought back to life! New friends and life reinvigorated through reading! We’ve had some good reads since our last episode.

We’re both digging into our #BigBookSummer reading challenge books. Emily has started DEVIL IN THE GROVE by Gilbert King. Chris has thrown away the reading schedule for ULYSSES by James Joyce but is reading on.

In Biblio Adventures, Chris had a browse at the Book Barn in Niantic, CT where she stumbled across TRAVELS WITHOUT CHARLEY by Bill Goralski. She also attended a fall preview event with Simon and Schuster where five authors talked with their editors about their forthcoming fall releases: Safiya Sinclair, Myriam Gurba, Stephanie Land, Nicole Walters, and Melissa Broder.

We both enjoyed our 2nd quarter readalong pick, THE READING LIST and were delighted to talk with author Sara Nisha Adams!

Just after our conversation with Sara, we announce our 3rd quarter readalong plans. Buckle up for SCARLET SUMMER!
