Overview JP (Jo-Anne) MCLEAN writes urban fantasy and supernatural thrillers which have received accolades from the Global Awards, the Chanticleer Book Awards, Wishing Shelf Book Awards, the Whistler Independent Book Awards, and the Victoria Writers Society. Reviewers call her books addictive, smart, and fun. Her work includes endorsements from award-winning and best-selling authors, E.E. Holmes, Jennifer Manuel, Elinor Florence, Jennifer Anne Gordon, and Eileen Cook. JP is a graduate of the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business.

Did you know that:the Earth tilts at 23 degrees on its axis? (Well it's actually closer to 23.5 and degrees are an arbitrary unit of measurement);2 divided by 3 is 0.666 recurring? (Although if you round it properly it would be 0.667, which is the Devil's next door neighbour); if you rearrange the letters in "The Number Twenty Three" you get "This is all Hogwash"?Isn't numerology incredible?This week we watched Joel Schumacher's 23rd film: "The Number 23", starring Jim Carrey. And we ask, perhaps, the most important question of all - was this film actually a secret sequel to Ace Ventura Pet Detective?We're through the looking glass here people! If you're interested in watching The Number 23 then please recondsider watching Paddington (one or two, they're both good.)

We have read some great books together over the last few years. For the first Reading Envy Readalong of 2020, we will be reading The Odyssey by Homer, as translated by Emily Wilson. I talk about it oh so briefly on this micro episode, and there are links and more information below. We commence February 16th!

I'm a weirdo who saves intros for last so my schedule will reflect that.

I have allowed for a catch-up week before our final discussion. Last year we had no group discussions and I really missed it, so we will definitely do that this time. It's not required but the more the merrier!Related episodes:Episode 090 - Reading Envy Readalong: East of Eden with Ellie and JeffEpisode 099 - Readalong: The Secret HistoryEpisode 118 - Reading Envy Readalong: To the Bright Edge of the World Episode 137 - Reading Envy Readalong: The Golden NotebookEpisode 157 - Joint Readalong of Gone with the Wind with Book CougarsBook Cougars - Joint Readalong of Sapphira and the Slave Girl Stalk me online:Jenny at GoodreadsJenny on TwitterJenny is @readingenvy on Instagram and Litsy

Jenny sits down in the Reading Envy Pub with author and publisher Jon Sealy. After we talk about the state of publishing and Jon's current projects, we also discuss books we've read and liked recently. Some books are just better in audio, some are necessarily dark, while others clear away the gloom.Download or listen via this link: Reading Envy 169: Simulacrum with Jon SealySubscribe to the podcast via this link: FeedburnerOr subscribe via Apple Podcasts by clicking: SubscribeOr listen through TuneIn Or listen on Google Play Listen via StitcherListen through Spotify Books discussed: The Overstory by Richard PowersThe Circle of Karma by Kunzang ChodenFaithful Place by Tana FrenchThe Line Becomes a River by Francisco CantúThe Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante, translated by Ann GoldsteinThe Restaurant of Love Regained by Ito Ogawa, translated by David Karashima Other mentions:Jenny's trip to the South Carolina Book Festival in 2014 (where she saw Jon Sealy talk about his book right before a panel of Pat Conroy's siblings)The Whiskey Baron by Jon SealyHub City PressEureka Mill by Ron RashLike a Family by Jacquelyne Dowd Hall et alFate Moreland's Widow by John LaneThe Last Ballad by Wiley CashThe Edge of America by Jon SealyHaywire BooksHummingbird House by Patricia HenleyFirebird by Mark PowellSmall Treasons by Mark PowellThe Good Luck Stone by Heather Bell Adams The Echo Maker by Richard PowersOrfeo by Richard PowersIn the Woods by Tana FrenchThe Witch Elm by Tana FrenchMy Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante (Neopolitan Novels #1)Chocolat by Joanne HarrisTiny Love: The Complete Stories of Larry Brown by Larry Brown (forthcoming)All This Could Be Yours by Jami Attenberg The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi CoatesRelated Episodes:Episode 012 - Some Bookers and Some Madness Episode 024 - The Attention of Humanity with guests Seth Wilson and Barret Newman  Episode 130 - All the Jennifers with Fern RonayEpisode 167 - Book Pendulum with ReggieStalk us online:Jenny at GoodreadsJenny on TwitterJenny is @readingenvy on Instagram and LitsyJon on TwitterJon on Facebook Jon's website with tour infoHaywire Books websiteHaywire Books on FacebookSome of these links are Amazon affiliate links, where I do get a minor kickback when people click on them.

Karen and Jenny discuss books they've read and liked recently, although Jenny was reading up to the minute we started recording because she wanted to talk about one of these books with Karen specifically. We talk about graphic novels in other languages, romance representation, and obscure science. And, as usual, we laugh a lot.
