    There isn't much I wouldn't trust those little old ladies to do. I have a few new others to add to my library holds. Great episode today, gentlemen!

    Love the show, thank you gentlemen. I think one of the problems with the Library of the America publications is the size of the font they use! So usually I consume these on an ereader. Go well.

    Wifedom was on the Women’s Prize non-fiction longlist, so I’m sure that’s why your colleague ordered it. I saw the ebook for a dollar and read it. The author definitely had an agenda and the book could have been shorter, but I was interested in Eileen’s story and finished it. She had an important job during the Spanish Civil War and was in contact with interesting people. She died tragically and her death pointed out the poor health conditions for women at that time. I hope someone checks it out.

    Loved this episode, gentlemen! Butcher, or even better, Zombie, by Joyce Carol Oates is, in no way, cozy.

    “Are you smart enough to figure out how I’m insulting you?”😅 Current Literary fiction in a nutshell. 😅 Another great show.

    Yea!! Wild cards!! Ooooh, I so agree. Where are the mysteries?? I'm not a fan of "thrillers" and 2 or 3 cozies a year is plenty. I have to find all my mysteries in backlists - usually published before about 2012.

    How come when asked what the three saddest words in the English language are, Gore Vidal answered: Joyce Carol Oates?

    Because, um, maybe he felt threatened?! All 85 pounds of her breathing down his neck?
