Reading Envy 145: Things Get Dark

Bianca joins Jenny for a late-night chat about books, and we follow all tangents to the end. We cover cults, manga and comics, and middle-grade reads. Bianca talks about her monthly themed reads in 2018 and how that has inspired her focused reading in 2019. Jenny begs your forgiveness for a few coughing spells; allergies have hit early in the south. (She edited everything out that she could.)

Reading Envy 040: Proustian Ratatouille

Jenny stayed closer to home for this episode, to talk comics with local teen services librarian and Secret Stacks podcaster, Thomas Maluck. The podcast starts and ends with comics but if that isn't your speed, there are other books discussed in the middle.  Jenny isn't really an expert in comics either, and soon learned she may never be as much of an expert as Thomas! Talk about envy - this is an entire genre practically unexplored.
