Welcome to Episode 178! We are currently reading a variety of genres: Fiction (CHASE OF THE WILD GOOSE by Mary Gordon and VOYAGER by Diana Gabaldon), memoir (LIFE B: OVERCOMING DOUBLE DEPRESSION by Bethanne Patrick), self-help (WHY AM I SO ANXIOUS by Tracey Marks), and a cookbook (COOK AS YOU ARE by Ruby Tandoh). Emily discusses three gripping novels that she recently read: THE MEMORY OF ANIMALS by Claire Fuller, OUR BEST INTENTIONS by Vibhuti Jain, and I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU by Rebecca Makkai. Chris enjoyed a new biography that investigates Edgar Allan Poe’s death, A MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES by Mark Dawidziak. She also finished two novels: DRAGONFLY IN AMBER by Diana Gabaldon and THE WARDEN by Anthony Trollope.

We both love her new novel, ENDPAPERS, a character-driven story about a genderqueer book conservator and book artist who finds a message under the endpapers of an old book that sets her off on an external investigation into the past that helps her solve some of her current internal mysteries.
