Episode 148 - Reading Sure Makes Time Fly (how is it already February???)

Books we’ve read since last episode: HONOR by Thrity Umrigar (Algonquin Books) THE PEACOCK by Isabel Bogdan, translated by Annie Rutherford (V&Q Books) YINKA, WHERE IS YOUR HUZBAND? By Lizzie Damilola Blackburn (Pamela Dorman Books) Two picture books: THE GOOD EGG and THE BAD SEED by Jory John and Pete Oswald (HarperCollins) THE SENTENCE by Louise Erdrich (Harper) HER LAST AFFAIR by John Searles (March 22, 2022 Mariner Books) MEMPHIS by Tara M. Stringfellow (April 5, 2022 Dial Press) Our reading since the last episode ranges from the horrific consequences of religious intolerance to a crazed peacock prowling an old Scottish estate; from pressure on Nigerian women to marry to an egg who learns to take care of himself and a sunflower seed who learns to value himself; from a haunted bookstore to an abandoned drive-in theater to the streets of Memphis. Of course we also talk about what we’re currently reading, what we want to read, and biblio adventures! Also, reminder that our current readalong is A SNAKE FALLS TO EARTH by Darcie Little Badger.
