The Bookstore

This week we discuss Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin, one of the American Civil Rights Movements lesser taught leaders. We look adoringly at his treatment of women, and wrack our brains to understand some more obscure Biblical references. It's all here, folks!

Follow us on all of the social medias, @thebookstorepodcast or @thebookstorepod.

We're back for a new mini episode! Like Audrina we just couldn't leave Whitefern. This week we watched Lifetime's movie adaptation of My Sweet Audrina.

You can own My Sweet Audrina from Amazon Prime Video for just $2.99!

Next week we'll be discussing an actual classic, and we'll be much more dignified.

This week Becca and Corinne read Gilead by Marilyn Robinson because their first guest, Josh Weston, told them to! Today's episode includes thoughtful discussion of a novel about an intentional and intelligent elderly pastor, weird anecdotes about religious experiences, and a story about why you should never question Marilyn Robinson's dedication to her work.

Read along with us for our next discussion of Go Tell It On the Mountain by James Baldwin.

On our first ever between the book episode (a minisode, a .5, whatever you want to call it!) we bring you the story of the Native American literature world's very own Rachel Dolezal. Becca and Corinne try to break down John Smelcer's many grifting ways in the aftermath of a PEN Literary award scandal. Lessons learned: do some leg work.

**NOTE: this episode was produced and published many months before the news of accusations against Sherman Alexie reached outside of the publishing world. The Bookstore stands in solidarity with victims and the #metoo movement.

Next week we read Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. Find it at a bookstore near you and read along!

This time around we thought we'd read a trashy little romp to round out our summer. And, boy, did we read some real trash! VC Andrew's really brought it with My Sweet Audrina. Listen as Becca and Corinne walk through what is possibly the most offensive book either of them have ever read.
