This is a podcast about reading and finding relationships between randomly paired books. The first season's episodes start with a book I'm currently reading, and then add a book that I read two years ago that is determined in a fairly random way, I see what there is to see in the matter between them. Sometimes it's amazing. Sometimes ... well, I get a laugh out of it, at least.

Episode 16 begins with a loss. I recorded the episode originally, had an amazing moment of thoughtfulness and clarity and then lost almost the entire episode. Re-recording it was an experience in thoughtfulness without overpreparation. The books that are in conversation in this episode are extraordinary and well worth their reading.Also, surprise c…

Episode 12 opens with a lot of joy and happiness because The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the best burger in LA) by Amy Spalding is a joy from beginning to end. My YA reading group read it for May, and I loved being able to spend some quiet time with it before I spent chatting time with my friends.This is a lovely book about a girl who is a plus size…

Being able to make a book is a very cool set of skills, and the book that I grabbed is mostly about making kind of fancy, not necessarily useful books.

Episode 9 finds me at the edge of a diving board ready to fly! I start with William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, and am thrilled to discover how much more energy there is in the text of this play than I remember, even from the last time that I read it (which was only a couple of years ago, to be honest (I love my reading group)).We read this to be…
