This week we are reading a BOOK, and I mean that in the best possible way. The Book of Night Women by Booker Prize winner Marlon James is moving, heartbreaking, magical, and dark. It is also a favorite of this week’s guest, Elizabeth Klaczynski. Elizabeth is a public historian and a curator currently living in Richmond, Virginia.  She blames the American Girls series for her love of both history and reading.  Elizabeth usually has her head buried in a book, but you can also find her anywhere there is water or playing with her very spoiled fur babies.
