Minisode alert! It's Married with College time again as Maggie helps Jon with one of his Library classes as they review Dear Fahrenheit 451 by Annie Spence and write love letters and breakup letters to some of their favorite (and not so favorite) books and other media, including The Magician's Nephew, The Magicians, Bullet Train, Atlas Shrugged, Andor, and more!

Annie Spence is a freelance creative and marketing consultant in fashion blogging, who also blogs and offers personal styling services. She's also one of my favorite people - an IRL friend turned internet bestie. Annie gives immediate, actionable tips for whatever stage you're in crafting the perfect-for-you closet: purging, finding your "uniform", deciding where to invest vs save, and all the little tricks for shopping secondhand both online and locally. We also share stories of our favorite thrifted finds and how we can involve friends in our sustainable fashion journeys. Thanks to our sponsor! CozyEarth.com with code ECOCHIC for 35% off sitewide.

Our inspiration for this episode of the ReadMHK podcast is this year's K-State First Book, Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why by Amanda Ripley. This book reviews not only disasters, both natural and man-made throughout history, but uses those disasters for context to examine how and why people survive, and what we can do to increase our odds of survival. Join us as we speak with Annie Spence, a personal trainer who offers client-centered coaching, based on her years of experience, her degree in Kinesiology, and her broad-reaching professional certifications. Thanks to her previous strength training, Annie survived a traumatic crush injury in New Zealand that led to a six-month hospital stay, left her with 29 screws and three plates in her pelvis and spine, and she eventually had a complete hip replacement. This left Annie with an even greater gratitude for movement, health, and strength.

I’m Jim McKeown, welcome to Likely Stories, a weekly review of fiction, Non-Fiction, and Poetry. I have a terrific book for all the voracious consumers of literature. The dust jacket is an opening to a rabbit hole of wonder. Dear Fahrenheit 451 by Annie Spence, is her first book. This is one of those books you cannot stop reading and will always have a copy close by your side.

Last week, I sat down and had a zoom chat with Annie Spence of Unbreakable Strength Co. We talked about makes people mentally and physically strong, the future of boutique training and subversive fitness collectives. What's it like growing up queer in a Midwestern prairie? How are fitness spaces going to be like food courts? What happens when a tree falls on your tent and crushes you in the middle of the night in a remote patch of woods in rural New Zealand? And how the hell does a 24-year-old reference the TV show "Northern Exposure"? All of this, plus some Stargate and Blade Runner speculation for our cybernetic future and a gentle ribbing of those in the industry that liken themselves to wolves and lions. Unbreakable Strength Co.Also: The InvitationBy Oriah Mountain Dreamer It doesn't interest mewhat you do for a living.I want to knowwhat you ache forand if you dare to dreamof meeting your heart's longing.It doesn't interest mehow old you are.I want to knowif you will risklooking like a foolfor lovefor your dreamfor the adventure of being alive.It doesn't interest mewhat planets aresquaring your moon...I want to knowif you have touchedthe centre of your own sorrowif you have been openedby life's betrayalsor have become shriveled and closedfrom fear of further pain.I want to knowif you can sit with painmine or your ownwithout moving to hide itor fade itor fix it.I want to knowif you can be with joymine or your ownif you can dance with wildnessand let the ecstasy fill youto the tips of your fingers and toeswithout cautioning usto be carefulto be realisticto remember the limitationsof being human.It doesn't interest meif the story you are telling meis true.I want to know if you candisappoint anotherto be true to yourself.If you can bearthe accusation of betrayaland not betray your own soul.If you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy.I want to know if you can see Beautyeven when it is not prettyevery day.And if you can source your own lifefrom its presence.I want to knowif you can live with failureyours and mineand still stand at the edge of the lakeand shout to the silver of the full moon,"Yes."It doesn't interest meto know where you liveor how much money you have.I want to know if you can get upafter the night of grief and despairweary and bruised to the boneand do what needs to be doneto feed the children.It doesn't interest mewho you knowor how you came to be here.I want to know if you will standin the centre of the firewith meand not shrink back.It doesn't interest mewhere or what or with whomyou have studied.I want to knowwhat sustains youfrom the insidewhen all else falls away.I want to knowif you can be alonewith yourselfand if you truly likethe company you keepin the empty moments.

Annie Spence is a Detroit-based author AND LIBRARIAN. Her first book, "Dear Fahrenheit 451," was published in 2017 (Macmillan/Flatiron), and it features love letters & break-up notes to books that Spence established "intense relationships" with over the years. She has spent more than a decade working as a librarian in public libraries in the midwest. So we talked about several things, like what it was like to be a librarian during quarantine, what she's working on lately (a novel?), her all-time favorite books, and also why it is that, when compared to other art forms, we connect with books and reading in such a deep and nuanced way. Sometimes those connections are so intense as to warrant legitimate love letters.      https://www.anniespence.com/about    Excerpt: https://us.macmillan.com/excerpt?isbn=9781250106490
