Episode 151 - Spring is in the air and the Book Cougars are on the prowl!

Spring is in the air and the Book Cougars are on the prowl! Translation: Biblioadventures are ramping up as the weather gets better and Covid rates continue to fall. We can’t remember the last time we had two joint jaunts in the same week, so it was a special treat to visit Riverbend Bookshop in Glastonbury, Connecticut and the New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusettes. Emily took a solo bibiloadventure to check out the Westport Public Library’s renovation and Chris attended a Zoom event with the Society for the Study of American Women Writers. A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger, our first quarter readalong book, generated a lively zoom discussion. Thanks to Emily S, Colleen O, Kim, Melinda O, Julie S, Robin G, Nancy M, Aunt Ellen, Sue D, Katie S, Karen N, Kate G, Robey T, Linda P, and Linda J for joining us! Books discussed in this episode include This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub (out 5/17/22), Salt by Catrin Kean, The Gloaming by Melanie Finn, Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre by Carole Boston Weatherford & Floyd Cooper, Gordon Parks: How the Photographer Captured Black and White America by Carole Boston Weatherford & Jamey Christoph, Such a Library: A Yiddish Folktale Reimagined by Jill Ross Nadler, It Could Always Be Worse by Margot Zemach, Bubbe & Bart’s Matzoh Ball Mayhem by Bonnie Grubman & Deborah Melmon. Audiobooks we’re currently listening to via Libro.fm: Emily: Both/And: A Life in Many Words by Huma Abedin Chris: Run Rose Run by Dolly Parton & James Patterson Check out our show notes for links to all of the above and more info about upcoming jaunts and what we’re reading next.
