Here we are in the new year with episode 17 and not one, but two graphic novels. Yes, two. Together we are amazed by two very different art styles and very different explorations of one's culture.

Our visit to Germany and Finland left us reflecting on the current state of the world, but knowing that there is ways to explore difficult topics is comforting.

And of course, spoilers~

Welcome to episode 16, where we struggle the most we have ever struggled with a book. (At least on this podcast.) And this one probably has the most explicit language we've ever used. We don’t know what that tells you about the book, but Milan Kundera really took the three of us through the wringer.

Of course, spoilers~

Welcome to episode 15, where we take a historical ride across the Atlantic and learn about a country that we were not taught about but definitely should’ve been taught about. Wayetu Moore educates us about Liberia and its direct link to the US, while interweaving superhuman abilities, ancestry and the complexities of identity. 

[important note: this is definitely not a romcom, we just make weird brain connections. the content of the story may be challenging for some to read due, so please be mindful]

Of course, spoilers~

However we can't leave Ryan out! So he will recommend whatever his heart desires! (he reads a little less than us)

Except for Palestine - Marc Lamont Hill - nf

Salt Houses - Hala Alyan - fic

Wrong Place, Wrong Time - Gillian MacAllister - thriller

The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco - italy read

Ryan's Rapidfire Recommendations:

Book; the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

is book recommending our profession? no.

do we read a lot? probably more than what is healthy.

regardless, Jaimie and I (Tiah) provide a little more information for those listening. Tune in for what you might expect from the series and the title!

Our first release should be Thursday, Sept 12! Should be. Wish us luck!

Welcome to episode 12, we tend to select some complex story telling authors. This one is no different. I know, shocking. We do our best to get you the main plot, but this does not express how astounding this author’s abilities are.

As always, spoilers~

So we’re adding a mini series? Or minisodes? We may have recorded the wrong technical term, but we’re looking to add a set of in between shorter episodes to incorporate some of our other reads!

We also clearly need to spend more time together.

- keep an ear out for September!
