Tonight Josh and I discuss the Audible original The Perfect Swing by James McGirk, narrated by Nick Jonas. Nick is super hot, and he has such a soothing voice.

This episode starts on a very personal note, so I apologize for that. But we talk about Andy Weir's debut novel, The Martian, which is an undeniable hit, and I'm kind of upset I'm just now getting around to finishing it. I listened to it on audiobook, which is narrated by Wil Wheaton, who did a fabulous job.

This episode doesn't have much to do with literature. I mean, I talk about Dr. Seuss for a second, but I don't know how much that counts. This is mostly about how every day is exactly the same, how my kids are making me crazy, and most importantly, plugging a song by the wonderful Chelsea Effect, "The City." Enjoy!

Joined by my husband, Josh, of JB Publishing, we discuss Fritz Leiber's Gather, Darkness. Heavily influenced by H.P. Lovecraft and Carl Jung, Leiber has created a fascinating dystopian world full of amazing technology and terrifying creatures. Josh dives deep into this book and takes me along for the ride. I interrupt him with tales of woe regarding sleep paralysis, and we break several times because we crack each other up. This was a fun one to record.

In this episode, I discuss Late Last Night by Lilian Darcy. This is a short book that is mostly about a romantic relationship, but it has enough other elements involved that I wouldn't classify it as a romance novel. It was a lovely read.
