We've had a few lesser known books on the show recently, so I want to bring it back to a critical and cultural darling, THE SONG OF ACHILLES by Madeline Miller. My guest is none other than Deedi Brown, known as @deedireads on instagram. Deedi runs the Booker of the Month book club, reviews every book she reads on her blog, releases a newsletter, advocates for indie booksellers, and so much more. I'm exhausted just thinking about it! Deedi has excellent taste in books and this one is no exception. We gush about Miller's wonderful prose, tender characters, and reinterpretation of the age old myth. If you haven't read this one, don't worry, no spoilers! We also talk about the importance of supporting indie bookstores, how to practice positivity in dark times, following book prizes, and so much more. Deedi also has a TON of book recommendations for all of us, in case your TBR needed toppling. If you're looking for ACHILLES book discussion only, skip to the 20 minute mark, but you definitely want to listen to this whole episode.
