Episode 137 - Author (and Editor) Spotlight with Juliet Grames

Episode 137 - Author (and Editor) Spotlight with Juliet Grames

Emily finished ANNA KARENINA by Leo Tolstoy, her #BigBookSummer challenge read. It was a good read, but — phew! — big and intense. Chris read Kate Moore’s new nonfiction release, THE WOMAN THEY COULD NOT SILENCE, the true story of Elizabeth Packard’s battle against her husband and the system that tried to lock her away. Although the women’s rights movement still has a ways to go, some of the books we’ve read recently have been good reminders of how far we’ve come since the 19th-century. During Hurricane Henri, Chris dove into the deep ocean with BELOW THE EDGE OF DARKNESS by Edith Widder, Ph.D. and Emily plunged into pie making with Ken Haedrich’s PIE ACADEMY. She shares a new-to-her pie crust secret. In biblioadventures, we have some early news about Susan Cain’s new book coming out in spring 2022 and Peter Heller’s next novel (the one coming after his new release, THE GUIDE). We talk about so many good reads — this little blurb just scratches the surface! We were thrilled to finally sit down and chat with author and editor, Juliet Grames. We talk about books, editing, food, and more. Listen now!
