Episode 201 - A Great Last Night with Luanne Rice

Welcome to Episode 201 featuring an Author Spotlight with LUANNE RICE recorded at the beautiful and welcoming Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library in Old Lyme, CT. Luanne’s new novel, LAST NIGHT, is out now. You’ve heard us rave about it in recent episodes and we do our best to keep our conversation with Luanne spoiler free. Some highlights of this episode: After recording with Luanne, we headed to Bank Square Books in Mystic, CT to attend her book launch. She was in conversation with new-to-us author, VANESSA LILLIE. It was a great event and the reception afterwards at The Captain Daniel Packer Inne was filled with love, good conversation, and delicious food. Later that night we both started Vanessa’s new thriller, BLOOD SISTERS. We binged it and highly recommend you check it out. Other books and stories we’ve recently read include THE SICILIAN INHERITANCE by Jo Piazza (out 4/2/2024) and RIVER OF THE GODS: Genius, Courage, and Betrayal in the Search for the Source of the Nile by Candice Millard. Emily read two short stories:“The Irish Wedding” from the story collection THE SOUVENIR MUSEUM by Elizabeth McCracken and “Such Fun” from the story collection LAST NIGHT by James Salter. Chris also declared that she’s “finished” reading Emily Wilson’s new translation of THE ILIAD by Homer. In Biblio Adventures, Emily went to Charter Books in Newport, RI for the book launch of FLOAT UP, SING DOWN by Laird Hunt. Chris acquired a few more IKEA bookcases and immediately started filling them up with purchases from Barnes & Noble and Blackwell’s. Thanks to the sponsor of this episode, Anthony Ausiello, whose new novel, BROOKLYN ‘76, comes out on 2/20/2024. Thanks for listening, and Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2024/episode201
