Welcome to Working Title, a podcast where two writer friends stumble through books we love, looking for writing secrets. Join us as we read books that were foundational to our own writing (flashbacks), explore themes across genres and books (plot twist) and talk about whatever is inspiring us (red herring).

In this episode, Leah and Dana explore what libraries in fiction can reveal about characters and our relationships with stories. Libraries are so much more than places where books are stored they are symbols (and often literal places) of community; the hold histories and futures. Using The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern and The Book of M by Peng Shepherd as pillars in the conversation, Dana and Leah discuss the range of the idea.

Books mentioned:

The Starless Sea by Ering Morgenstern

The Book of M by Peng Shepherd

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith
