Reading Envy 106: Falling Asleep During Tarkovsky Films

Jenny got together with a longtime online reading friend, Jon Laubinger, and host of his own podcast, Film Baby Film. We discussed the book Roadside Picnic alongside the film Stalker. You should expect spoilers for both, as this is an in-depth discussion.

Reading Envy 102: The Reading Women and Reading Envy Crossover Episode

Sometime in this past year, I realized that another podcaster, Kendra, lived in the same city as me. Her co-host is Autumn and they host the Reading Women Podcast (more info and links below.) We decided to use the opportunity to talk about the best books we read by women this year.

And check out the Reading Women Podcast:
Copied from their website:
"The goal of the Reading Women podcast is to bring previously anonymous women to the forefront of your TBR stack. Each month Kendra Winchester and Autumn Privett pick a theme and then discuss several books in a book club-style podcast. Subscribe today to discover amazing female authors who are giving voice to a part of the world's population that has been largely overlooked."
