Sasha and Nicole have an uncomfortable conversation about this popular book and Nicole exposes a secret that almost ends their friendship! Trigger warning: discussion of child sexual abuse relating to the book. Audio note: a couple of seconds randomly speed up and have a chipmunk sound! It only lasts a couple of seconds but was unable to correct.

This week's book up for dissection and discussion is Bryn Greenwood's All the Ugly & Wonderful Things. A New York Times Bestseller heralded as, “a beautiful and provocative love story,” this story follows the child of a meth dealer, as she develops an unbreakable bond with a thug who possesses a heart of gold. Tune in to hear Jon & Candice's thoughts and if they find Ms. Greenwood's book to be movingly wonderful, or just a hot mess of ugly.

Meredith and Kaytee are back, chatting books and strong opinions with you! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: leaning into the DNF (did not finish), and a recovery book as reading “Advil.” Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We’ve got three books each to discuss, including some revisits of titles that have already been discussed. Our Slow But Steady check in is short and sweet, just like you like it! For our deep dive this week, we are talking True Crime. This is an unknown world for Kaytee so we’re hearing from Meredith about what she loves about True Crime and her favorites in the genre. Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands: a cry-fest book that not everyone will love, and a book for middle graders that one of us still needs to pick up!

Kaytee and Meredith return this week to chat about books with you! How do you feel about the backlist? We’re going there. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: using books as a coping strategy and books that you’ve been meaning to read for more than decade… We dive in to discussing 3 books each. These mostly take a trip down backlist lane, because only one is brand new and the rest are back in the catalog. Next we get into every listener’s most-asked question: a brief overview of how in the /world/ Kaytee reads SO much while homeschooling all those children. We finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to put into every reader’s hands. We’ve got a book that will make your life better and a series that you have to push through the first book to get to the way better second and third books.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 19th episode, our guest is Bryn Greenwood. For you, the listeners of The Rob Burgess Show podcast, Audible is offering a free audiobook download with a free 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service. A book I would personally recommend that pertains to this episode is “All The Ugly And Wonderful Things” by today's guest Bryn Greenwood. This unabridged audiobook is over 11 hours long and is read by Jorjeana Marie. It is set to be released August 9. Whatever book you pick, you can exchange it at any time. You can cancel at any time and the books are yours to keep. To download your free audiobook today go to audibletrial.com/TheRobBurgessShow. The show's official website is www.therobburgessshow.com. You can also find out more about me by visiting my website, www.thisburgess.com. Back to today's show. Bryn Greenwood is a fourth-generation Kansan, one of seven sisters, and the daughter of a mostly reformed drug dealer. She earned a MA in Creative Writing and continues to work in academia as an administrator. Her novel “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things” is coming from St. Martin's Press in August. She is also the author of the small press novels “Last Will” and “Lie Lay Lain.” Her stories and essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Battered Suitcase, Kansas Quarterly, and Chiron Review. She lives in Lawrence, Kansas, where she is married to an extensive home remodeling project, and is raising a small herd of boxers and hairless cats. I first became aware of Bryn on Nov. 29, 2015, when she tweeted the following: “I worked at a #PlannedParenthood clinic in Kansas for 3 years. My coworkers & I were subjected to the following acts of terrorism: Gasoline was poured under our back door & ignited 4 times. Twice while the clinic was occupied, causing patients to be evacuated. Butyric acid (used as a stink bomb) was poured under our doors & into ventilation system so many times I lost count. Clinic evacuated. 2 cherry bombs were left on our doorstep after hours, causing damage & clinic closure. Imagine what it's like going to work after that. We received hundreds of phone calls, threatening to torch our clinic & to kill the "murdering whores" who worked there. 3 times someone drove by at night & shot out our windows. Picketers stood on the sidewalk & harassed employees as we swept up broken glass. Our clinic didn't perform abortions. We did well woman exams, pregnancy tests, dispensed birth control, & treated STIs. Our clinic offered free & low cost services in a low income neighborhood, but every day the "pro-life" movement tried to frighten us. The goal was to make us afraid to come to work, to make us quit, to make us close the clinic. That's terrorism. That's how terrorism works. Anyone who approves of harassing clinics is giving support to terrorism. #StandWithPP At the same time, I volunteered at Dr. George Tiller's abortion clinic. In 1993 he was shot by a "pro-lifer." He came to work the next day. Dr. Tiller kept coming to work after he was shot, because he was a caring man who knew how important his work was. In 2009, Dr. Tiller was murdered in his own church, again by a "pro-lifer." The goal was to scare other doctors who perform abortions. Abortions are still provided in Dr. Tiller's old clinic, because that's how you respond to terrorism. We can't let them win.” I then stumbled across her January 14 essay for The New York Times titled, “Why I Always Wanted to Be a Secretary,” which you should definitely read. You can find Bryn on her website at: www.bryngreenwood.com.
