Plus, every time you get a bingo, you'll earn a fun, book-themed sticker. Complete a blackout of all the squares, and you'll earn your very own enamel Books and Bites pin! We'll discuss a different bingo square on each episode of the podcast. This month, it's books about books!Michael recommends Dark Archives: A Librarian’s Investigation into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin by Megan Rosenbloom. It intersects quite nicely with the darker subjects he typically reads about.

It's a coming-of-age novel about many things, including books, libraries, grief, and consumerism. The characters eat a LOT of Chinese takeout, so order in or make your own with help from Diana Kuan's The Chinese Takeout Cookbook: Quick and Easy Dishes to Prepare at Home.Jacqueline suggests The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser.
