Tea or Books? #59: Hard vs Easy Holiday Reading, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle vs The Haunting of Hill House
Shirley Jackson and holiday reading – welcome to episode 59!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Tea-or-Books-episode-59.mp3
In the first half of this episode, we look at holiday reading – chiefly whether we prefer easy or difficult books when we go off on holiday, but we also look at other potential reading options. In the second half, we look at two novels by the wonderful Shirley Jackson – We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House.
