Amanda is fresh off the Literary Showcase and Ryan wants to hear all about it. We touch on Germany's recent legal push and Thailand's retreat back toward prohibition before settling in and talking about the Expo.

The book fair of our youth has been reimagined to showcase our favorite plant! Amanda talks about the months she spent sourcing the cream of the crop of our industry's best authors, educators, and storytellers. The trials and tribulations of setting up a portable library, and how finding the perfect furniture really tied the room together.

Get a J and a pencil to write down recommendations as Amanda talks us through her favorites and shows off the folks pushing the conversation forward.

Do us both a favor and take a stoney stroll to your local book dealer to pick up one of these hand-selected recommendations or buy one from the list of booksellers we've curated.
