Two Book Minimum

Sometimes it's good for each of us to get out of our comfort zones, and in this episode, I share two books that helped me do that: The Feather Thief by Kirk W. Johnson and Shbeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamad.

We're back! In which I give a bit of a life update and context explaining some changes that will be coming to the podcast, plus two new reviews - Listen to Your Heart by Kasie West, and A Long Stretch of Bad Days by Mindy McGinnis.

This episode celebrates girl power along with incredibly short books, both of whom feature protagonists who pack a punch - The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett and Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume.

Maybe themes will emerge in my reading eventually, but this episode was just "books I found interesting" as I discuss the graphic novel Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol and the realistic fiction book Radio Silence by Alice Oseman.

Despite the thousands of books that are published in English each year, I truly believe readers are missing out if they don't explore translated works or authors from countries besides their own. This episode looks at The Wild Book by Juan Villoro and Maeve in America by Maeve Higgins.

Time is a funny thing, both when reading contemporary science fiction and classic children's books. This episode looks at This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone and The View from Saturday by EL Konigsburg.

Meet the host Monica Fumarolo as she shares what Two Book Minimum is going to be all about... just as soon as she writes it.
