Episode 229 - Announcing our 2nd Quarter Readalong in our year of reading Ghost Stories

Welcome to Episode 229! We kick off this episode with the announcement of our second quarter readalong pick for our year of reading Ghost Stories. We hope you’ll read along with us! Speaking of which, we also have an in depth conversation about “What Was It?” by Fitz-James O’Brien, the second story in the PENGUIN BOOK OF GHOST STORIES that we’ll be buddy reading throughout the year. Join us on this, too! Emily checked off the Western square on her Ghost Stories Bingo Card by reading LONE WOMEN by Victor LaValle. She also read TWENTY-FOUR SECONDS FROM NOW…A Love Story by Jason Reynolds and SWEPT AWAY by Beth O’Leary, and two cookbooks: THE FISHWIFE COOKBOOK by Becca Millstein and Vilda Gonzalez and THE HEBRIDEAN BAKER by Coinneach Macleod. Chris had some concentration issues and found comfort reading two wonderful picture books: THE LEAF DETECTIVE: How Margaret Lowman Uncovered Secrets in the Rainforest by Heather Lang, illustrated by Jana Christy, and HOW BIRDS SLEEP by David Obuchowski, illustrated by Sarah Pedry. She also finished listening to the audio version of A WEB OF OBSIDIAN by Lydia M. Hawke. We recap some notable Biblio Adventures including a Buzz Books 2025 Horror panel and an event at Hickory Stick Bookshop, and of course we talk about a bunch more books and bookish things. We hope you enjoy this episode. Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2025/episode-229
