• SUCH A FUN AGE by Kiley Reid >> Did you know that Reid is a judge for this year's Booker? And that Fun Age was longlisted in 2020? Listen in to see why!

  Did you love this when it came out in 2020? Are you picking it up now because Reid seems even smarter after being named as a Booker judge? Either way, listen in to hear why I loved the prose, character development and general vibe of this work. She tackles BIG questions, all in a highly familiar, fraught and delicious domestic world that provides all kinds of grist for my mill.

• SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE by Claire Keegan >> Did you read this years ago and love it? Indulge in a re-immersion into this brief, wintery masterpiece!

  I keep wanting wintery books/shows/crafts/projects that aren't too silly or saccharine. This absolutely fits that bill. And it's a complete MASTERPIECE. It might be brief but there is sooooo much to talk about. You'll come away feeling just a little bit smarter, and way winterier.
