Tea or Books? #97: Spontaneous or Planned Reading, and Tension vs Thank Heaven Fasting


Listen Later

How do we choose our reading, and E.M. Delafield – welcome to episode 97!

https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/tea-or-books-episode-97-online-audio-converter.com_.mp3

 

In the first half of the episode, we debate whether to read spontaneously or plan our reading. In the second half, two E.M. Delafield novels vie against each other: Tension, recently reprinted in the British Library Women Writers series, and Thank Heaven Fasting.

Do get in touch if you have any suggestions for future episodes, or questions for the middle section – [email protected]. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, your podcast app of choice etc, and can support the podcast at Patreon.
