We continue our Best Books of 2024 coverage with a special episode dedicated to MIDDLE GRADE. First, New York Times-bestselling author Annie Barrows joins us to discuss Stella & Marigold, illustrated by Sophie Blackall (Chronicle Books, Oct. 1), one of Kirkus' Best Books of 2024.Kirkus: “All the heart. None of the pablum. Sisterhood at its finest and freshest” (starred review). Then editors Laura Simeon and Mahnaz Dar highlight more of the year's best middle grade.

Annie Barrows, co-author of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," talks about how the author within the story asks three questions: why a roast pig dinner had to be kept secret, how a pig could spark the beginning of a literary society, and what exactly a potato peel pie is. The full interview from a 2008 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts. The book was co-authored by Mary Ann Shaffer.

Sophie Dutordoir (1962) is CEO van de NMBS, de nationale spoorwegen. Ze studeerde Romaanse aan de Universiteit van Gent, werkte op verschillende kabinetten, waaronder dat van toenmalig eerste minister Wilfried Martens. Ze werkte voor Elektrabel en werd daar CEO, stapte toen op om een eigen delicatessenzaak te beginnen in Overijse en werd in 2016 gevraagd als CEO van de NMBS. Ik ging bij Sophie Dutordoir thuis langs, ze woont in Overijse. Haar zoon was thuis om te studeren, we gingen zitten aan tafel om over boeken te praten. Over managementboeken was ze kort: geen interesse. De drie boeken die ze kiest zijn niet rechtstreeks verbonden met haar werk, maar ze zijn wel stuk voor stuk verbonden met haar persoonlijkheid, met de keuzes die ze maakt. Het gaat over haar thesis op de universiteit, over welke les van haar delicatessenzaak ze meenam naar de NMBS, over de ontmoeting met één van haar helden. Over lezen op reis en het bijzondere ritueel dat ze daarvoor samen met haar man ontwikkeld heeft. Alle boeken en auteurs uit deze aflevering vind je in de shownotes op wimoosterlinck.be De drie boeken van Sophie Dutordoir zijn: 1. Simone Veil: Une vie 2. Annie Barrows & Mary Ann Shaffer: Le cercle littéraire des amateurs d'épluchures de patates 3. Charles De Coster: La Légende d'Ulenspiegel

For today's episode I got to sit down with Chelsea Hoffman and Yolanda Skeete, founders of Thrillers by the Book Club. I can tell you from personal experience that both of these women are sweet and kind in real life, but they have an affinity for, as Chelsea calls it, murder-y books. They found each other online and formed a book club, which has morphed into a real-life book group with 27 chapters around the world. I asked them to join me for a Thriller-Palooza, because I wanted the lowdown on the best of the best in the world of thrillers, and holy moly, did these ladies ever deliver.   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Do you have a book you want to tell me about?

This week the gang reads historical fiction. Alisa and Aileen are old pros at this sub-genre while Josie and Lauren are more like dabblers. Ironically, almost all of the picks were in the WW2 category while Josie was the odd duck who traveled back to medieval Europe.Aileen read Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. She's been trying for years to read this book but every time she picked it up, she'd put it back down after asking herself, “do I really want to read about a leper colony?” Well, she finally read it and she's so glad she did. It was uplifting and inspiring and not at all the bummer she imagined it be at the outset. Thanks to her friend Pam for suggesting it!It took Lauren a moment to spit out the title, but The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Schaffer was a huge hit for her. This book took her a beat to get into but once she did, she never wanted it to end. Set during the German occupation of Guernsey during WW2, this epistolary-style book was a great yarn. As always, Lauren doesn't suggest books unless she loves the characters, and this book she highly recommends.Alisa found a real gem in The Only Woman in the Room by Heather Terrel. Set mostly during WW2 as well, this story is about Hettie Lamar's life, loves and her inventions. The gang was just floored to learn about this multi-faceted, self-taught woman whose mind was even more stunning than her famous face. There were some real mind blowers in this one, and the gang was just spellbound by Alisa's description.Josie went to the way-way back with Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. It was murderous monks galore in this runaway bestselling book that was not only inspired by a medieval manuscript, it's also about one, hidden deep within a library that also a labyrinth. There are so many twists and turns, both metaphorically and in the plot, it will have your head spinning. But don't let the Latin freak you out. This is a real page turner as well as being a meditation on one of the biggest theological debates in Catholicism. Josie loved it.
