NANCY DREW as Cultural Phenomenon! >> Did you know they radically rewrote the Nancy Drew books 20 years after publication? What it says about us is fascinating.
10/2/2026 | 35 mins.
NO READING REQUIRED!

"1950s Nancy was a Barbie. But 1930s Nancy was a single, friendless BITCH." (Bitch in the very BEST kind of way.)

This line from The Bookstore (now playing off Broadway) opens a fascinating--and somewhat damning--window onto American culture. But the best part of revisiting these books is how GOOD they are. Listen in to hear what most of us missed about these iconic bestsellers.
WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Brontë >> I have something to confess about this one. Listen in.
06/2/2026 | 40 mins.
Emerald Fennel's new movie version of Wuthering Heights (and my SON'S OFF-BROADWAY DEBUT) sent me right back to the novel and WOW is there a lot to say about this book. Allow me to break down whether it's a love story or all about revenge, why there's no sex, what the narrative stance has to do with the gothic, and SO MUCH MORE.

THE CORRESPONDENT by Virginia Evans >> This gem of a runaway best seller seems straightforward but I'll tell you what: Evans is pulling off a FEAT.
02/2/2026 | 45 mins.
I have never loved an epistolary novel (a novel in letters). But at every turn Evans avoided the pitfalls. Not only that, but The Correspondent ends up being a rich, moving read. Tune in to find out how she pulls it off, what made me put it down--only to pick it right back up--and why this work deserves a closer look.
DISCONTENT by Beatriz Serrano >> If you loved this book, maybe don't listen to the last twenty minutes of this.
29/1/2026 | 49 mins.
DISCONTENT started with such potential that my very high expectations were somewhat dashed. Serrano starts so strong: she paints the work place, interrogates the internet, incorporates visual art, promotes the concept of the chosen family and more. But much hinged on the ending and for me, it didn't deliver. Listen to see what's working really well and what isn't. Discontent really helps you see why pulling off a strong novel is REALLY HARD TO DO.
