Episode 182 - Biblio Adventure Bonanza: Making Lemonade Out of Lemons

Welcome to Episode 182! There is a lot of Biblio Adventure recapping in this episode, from author events (Mary Beth Keane at R.J. Julia) to movies (two book adaptations starring Kathy Bates), to bookstore visits in Vermont (Northshire and Monroe Street Books) and New York (Rogers Book Barn and Oblong Books). In the midst of wrapping up library school and plugging away on a huge grant review project, we both managed to actually finish a book apiece: Emily: Budmo! Recipes from a Ukrainian Kitchen by Anna Voloshyna Chris: Shakespeare and Company by Sylvia Beach We are also getting ready for Sue Jackson’s 11th Annual BIG BOOK SUMMER Reading Challenge! We’ve both picked a big book to kick off the summer. Chris chose a novel this year, one she never thought she’d read. It was published in Paris in 1922. Can you guess? Emily chose a Pulitzer Prize-winning historical best-seller about Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall. (We’ll add links to the buddy reads for these books in the comments.) Emily also requests your help choosing which novel to read — she has a stack of four and can’t decide — so help a girl out and vote on our Goodreads poll! [vote here] What are your reading plans this summer? As we say in the episode, it doesn’t have to be a big book or anything fancy, we’re just curious if you have special reading plans this summer. Let us know in the comments. Thank you for listening, and we wish you lots of HAPPY READING! Chris & Emily P.S.
