Episode 265 - In the grip of JAWS

Welcome to Episode 265! Content warning: We talk a lot about JAWS in this episode, both the novel and the movie. We jest about the content warning (maybe), but there’ll be more JAWS talk in the next episode, too, because after we recorded this one, we jumped in our biblio-adventure-mobile and headed to Mystic Seaport for a related author event: Christopher Shaw Myers talking about his new nonfiction book about his uncle, ROBERT SHAW. Other books that we discuss in our “Just Read” segment include: The Man by Laura Sims (a spontaneous #buddyread) Man Overboard! by Kathleen Rooney When the Stammer Came to Stay by Maggie O’Farrell, illustrated by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini The Card-File System of Note-Taking by Jacques Goutor Unnatural Exposure, Scarpetta #8 by Patricia Cornwell Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe In #BiblioAdventures, Emily talks about starting to watch the adaptation of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and Chris recaps Ellen Carol DuBois’ Zoom event on her biography, Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life. This was an in-person and online event hosted jointly by the Lewes Public Library, Browseabout Books, and the History Book Festival. As always, we talk about more books (and movies) than are listed here. Thanks for listening, and we wish you lots of Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2026/episode265
