Episode 143 - Author Spotlight with Jenna Blum

Terror, Murder, Death!! Our reading this episode isn’t as bleak as the themes of our “Just Read” books would suggest. Emily seriously enjoyed STATE OF TERROR by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny on audio. The action is great, and she was pleasantly surprised that it is also a story of friendship between two women. After the terror, Emily visited THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB by Richard Osman, a fun and clever read about four friends in a peaceful retirement community who get together to discuss unsolved crimes, and then one day find themselves in the midst of their own murder investigation. Chris finished WOODROW ON THE BENCH: Life Lessons from a Wise Old Dog by Jenna Blum. This is Jenna’s first memoir and a tribute to her black lab, Woodrow. Known as the George Clooney of dogs, Woodrow lived to be 15. It’s a caretaking memoir that is funny, heartfelt, and bound to bring tears to your eyes. Listen to our Author Spotlight to hear more about Woodrow from Jenna herself.
