Episode 171 - Author Spotlight with Marcie R. Rendon

Episode 171 - Author Spotlight with Marcie R. Rendon

Welcome to our last episode of 2022! We surprised each other this week with some reading kismet. Each of us arrived at Book Cougars HQ with a poetry collection in hand and a poem we wanted to share. Chris reads the poem “The Margin” from The Historians: Poems by Eavan Boland. Emily reads “Improvement” by Danusha Laméris from How to Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope edited by James Crews. We’ve also been reading some exciting novels that are coming out in early 2023. Two that we highly recommend are debut novels: — Night Wherever We Go by Tracey Rose Peyton (Ecco Press, release date 1/10/23) — The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz (Atria Books, release date 2/21/23) Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the advance reader copies. In 2022, the focus of our quarterly readalongs were books written by Indigenous Authors. Our fourth and final book of the year was Murder on the Red River: A Cash Blackbear Mystery by Marcie R. Rendon. Both of us really enjoyed the book and had a great time chatting with Marcie on this episode. The next two books in the series are Girl Gone Missing and Sinister Graves. We wish you a Happy Holiday Season filled with lots of love, light, and happy reading!
