We attempt a timeline of the events that have been shaking up Romancelandia, and rhapsodize about the genius of Greta Gerwig and her version of Little Women.

Next book discussion will be Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Gods of Jade and Shadow!

Catch us drinking framboise and pousse-cafes and calling each other "toothsome dishes." Just kidding, we did none of those while discussing Judith Krantz's debut novel Scruples, but the novel does make those sound fun. There's some silliness and some wildly offensiveness on display here, and we try to discuss as much as we can. Explicit warning here, as you might have guessed!

Our next book discussion will be Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Here we are with reflections on our year in reading and talking about books. Auld Lang Syne and all that, too.

Next time we will be reading Scruples by Judith Krantz. You can find it at your local library or bookstore and read along with us.

What's this? Another new episode this week! Recently we had the chance to chat with graphic novel writer Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me, This One Summer, Skim) about her latest novel for DC Ink, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass. We chatted about how one goes about writing a graphic novel, writing popular characters, and, of course, got some book recommendations (which you can find at www.thebookstorepodcast.com).

Alternate title: WE ARE NOT HISTORIANS. Jenny Erpenbeck's The End of Days blew us away with how masterful she ties everything together. It's so good, we trip over our words and maybe have a slight existential crisis.

We will not be releasing an episode the week of Christmas, but we'll be back in the New Year with Judith Krantz's Scruples!
