Book Riot's Liberty Hardy reads hundreds of books a year. She tells us the best new books of this summer.

After a tragedy too painful to bear, former novelist Lily Albrecht has resigned herself to a dull, sexless life as a rare book dealer. Until she gets a lead on a book that just might turn everything around. The Book of the Most Precious Substance is a 17th century manual on sex magic, rumored to be the most powerful occult book ever written--if it really exists at all. And some of the wealthiest people in the world are willing to pay Lily a fortune to find it-if she can. Her search for the book takes her from New York to New Orleans to Munich to Paris, searching the dark corners of power where the world's wealthiest people use black magic to fulfill their desires. Will Lily fulfill her own desires, and join them? Or will she lose it all searching for a ghost? The Book of the Most Precious Substance is an addictive erotic thriller about the lengths we'll go to get what we need-and what we want.   Join us for a conversation between author Sara Gran and Liberty Hardy, recorded live on our Crowdcast channel on February 25, 2022. _______________________________________________   Produced by Natalie Freeman, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski.

Welcome back to Nerdette Book Club! It's just like a regular book club only we have our own hashtag! This month we're reading ‘Klara and the Sun' by Nobel prize-winning Kazuo Ishiguro. Stay tuned for the panel discussion of the book later this month -- in the meantime, as if you didn't need more books to add to our to-read list, Greta talks with book nerds Liberty Hardy and Bethanne Patrick about some of the best books they've read so far this year.

It’s been a rough week. WBEZ’s Race, Class & Communities reporters Natalie Moore and Esther Yoon-Ji Kang join us to unpack it. Plus, a spring book preview with Liberty Hardy and cast iron tips from the TikTok famous expert: Matt Bright.

Welcome to the Nerdette Book Club! Each month, we read a book and chat about it with a rotating group of panelists. This month’s pick is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab.It’s about a girl from the 1700s whose curiosities and ambitions are bigger than the small town she lives in. When she finds a way to break free from the expectation to marry and settle down, she takes it without thinking twice. But what she thinks is an amazing chance to live unhindered is actually a deal with the devil, and a centuries-long curse.Listen along as Nerdette host Greta Johnsen discusses the book with cultural critic and nonfiction writer Eva Recinos and All The Books! podcast host Liberty Hardy. We also hear from many of you, who (with a few minor quibbles) all seemed to love this spellbinding story.

In Episode 67, Kelly Jensen of Book Riot shares what she learned from a survey of librarians about how they’re managing through COVID-19, ripple effects of COVID-19 on libraries moving forward, and the huge cost differential for libraries to acquire digital books (e-books and audiobooks) vs. print books. This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights The many things libraries do beyond lending books. What Kelly learned from the librarians’ survey she did this summer. How libraries can support students this Fall with so many schools learning virtually. How librarian’s jobs have changed due to COVID-19. The clutter of virtual book content right now and attendance levels at libraries’ virtual programs. Creative things libraries have started doing during COVID-19 (i.e. Library book bundles). The surprising thing Kelly saw in the survey results. Libraries quarantining books between lends because of COVID-19. Librarians being repurposed into different roles to help with COVID-19 (including as contact tracers). COVID-related icebergs that might have big ripple effects on libraries moving forward. How library budget cuts could end up looking. The cost for libraries to acquire digital books (e-books and audiobooks) compared to print books. The logistics of libraries acquiring e-books. Publishers changing the terms of how libraries can acquire e-books during COVID.

The Inconvenient Truth About Library E-Collections” Smart Bitches, Trashy Books  About Kelly Website | Instagram | Twitter Kelly Jensen is a former teen librarian who worked in several public libraries before pursuing a full-time career in writing and editing. Her current position is with Book Riot, the largest independent book website in North America, where she focuses on talking about young adult literature in all of its manifestations. Before becoming a fully-fledged adult-like person, she worked in the swanky Texas Legislative Library entering data into a computer while surrounded by important politicians, scooped gelato for hungry college students, and spent hours reading, annotating, and scanning small-town Texas newspapers into a giant searchable database. Her books include Here We Are: Feminism For The Real World (Algonquin Young Readers, February 2017) a collection of art, essays, and words from over 44 voices. (Don’t) Call Me Crazy is a collection of art, essays, and words to launch a powerful and important conversation about mental health. It was named a best book of 2018 by the Washington Post and earned a Schneider Family Book Award Honor for distinguished representation of the disability experience. Both books are published by Algonquin Young Readers, which will publish her third anthology Body Talk, a collection about the physical and political nature of the human body, in Fall 2020. She cohosts the popular YA book podcast Hey YA with Eric Smith and is a regular cohost on Book Riot’s All The Books podcast with Liberty Hardy. Kelly also writes the twice-weekly “What’s Up in YA?” newsletter for Book Riot, which reaches nearly 60,000 inboxes.  Kelly lives in Illinois with her husband, her bunny, and five needy-but-awesome cats. In her free time, she is a certified yoga teacher, writes for her personal blog STACKED (stackedbooks.org), volunteers for Young At Heart, drinks a lot of tea, and practices photography. Some of her favorite things include churro smashmallows, black licorice, adoring eyelashes on various animals (giraffes are the best, obv), fusing glass, spending too many hours in bookstores, debating the best seltzer in the world’s best secret seltzer Facebook group, and owning as much Halloween decor as possible. Her writing has been featured on Bustle, in Bust Magazine, at The Writer’s Digest, The Huffington Post, at Rookie Magazine, The Horn Book, BlogHer, School Library Journal. She contributed an essay and a guide to teen sexuality in pop culture for Amber J. Keyser’s The V-Word: True Stories of First-Time Sex and is the author of the book It Happens: A Guide to Contemporary Realistic Fiction for the YA Reader from VOYA Press. Kelly is happy to discuss possibilities for professional speaking, editing, and/or writing opportunities, in person or online. You can learn more about her, her background, and her passions in this interview. She is represented by Tina Dubois at ICM Partners and can be reached at kelly@stackedbooks.org.

Why society shames people for expressing dark thoughts about the hard parts of parenting and caregiving. How Angie’s own experience immigrating to the U.S. from South Korea as a teen influenced Mary’s character in the book. The theme Angie is considering exploring in her second novel…and a teaser for the beginning of her second novel. How Angie figures out how her novels will end. How Angie found out Miracle Creek was going to be a Book of the Month pick (April). Why Angie can’t share a book she didn’t love…which led to a discussion about DNF’ing books.

Introduction   [0:30] In Which We Drink PBR and Discuss ALL THE BOOKS Coming Out in October In addition to her Book Riot work, Liberty is a roaming bookseller, former bookseller at RiverRun Bookstore in New Hampshire, judge for Bookspan’s Book of the Month Club, volunteer librarian, and self-proclaimed velocireader. Drink of the Day: Pabst Blue Ribbon. Yes, that PBR. Originally posted by uponfurtherreview-mark Emma’s reading Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science by Charles Wheelan, and A Wild Swan: And Other Tales by Michael Cunningham Kim’s reading Phoebe and her Unicorn by Dana Simpson, My Fight/Your Fight by Ronda Rousey, The Mark and the Void by Paul Murray, and Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. Liberty’s reading Mrs. Engels by Gavin McCrea, Twain’s End by Lynn Cullen, and Monsters: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Birth of Pathological Technology by Ed Regis. October is a very exciting month for books, amiright? Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor  Slade House by David Mitchell The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff Witches of America by Alex Mar Science of the Magical: From the Holy Grail to Love Potions to Superpowers by Matt Kaplan Plotted: A Literary Atlas by Andrew Degraff and Daniel Harmon  Our Spoons Came from Woolworths by Barbara Comyns Last Night’s Reading: Illustrated Encounters with Extraordinary Authors by Kate Gavino We Five by Mark Dunn The Mare by Mary Gaitskill Avenue of Mysteries by John Irving The Givenness of Things: Essays by Marilynne Robinson Numero Zero by Umberto Eco Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente Also mentioned: The Penguin Book of Witches by Katherine Howe, Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark Dunn, various books by Cat Valente (Six-Gun Snow White, Deathless, Speak Easy) Chapter I   [16:45] In Which Liberty Doesn’t Have To Wear Pants, Tells Us Her Secret to Reading ALL the Books, and Gives Us a Tour of Her Library and Cat B&B Liberty’s last official brick-and-mortar bookselling gig was at RiverRun Bookstore in Portsmouth, NH. Now she talks about books on the interwebz at Book Riot and doesn’t have to wear pants, which seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. Originally posted by nevadatrek If you’re not listening to Liberty’s podcast every week, you should. Like, stop reading this and go listen to All the Books! instead. We’ll wait.  Want to read like a bookseller? You can score advanced digital copies of books from NetGalley and Edelweiss. Learn more about Edelweiss here. Fun Fact: The average person reads 215 words per minute. Liberty reads 536 words a minute. How do you match up? Liberty only sleeps 3 to 4 hours a night. So, that’s a thing. Originally posted by redbullmediahouse Chapter II   [31:30] In Which Gary Shteyngart Writes a Successful Blurb, A Giant Crate of Books Washes Up On Liberty’s Desert Island,  Liberty’s fav local bookstore haunt is Water Street Bookstore in Exeter, NH. She also “accidentally” bought a bunch of books from Small Beer Press in the middle of the night (including The Liminial War by Ayize Jama-Everett and Kalpa Imperial by Angélica Gorodischer, translated byUrsula K. Le Guin). And she gives a big shout out to Sherman’s Books in Portland, ME and their store manager Josh Christie who, spoiler alert, is our next guess on Drunk Booksellers! Liberty’s a judge for Bookspan’s Book of the Month Club. Sounds rad. Liberty’s wheelhouse: anything compared to Kurt Vonnegut or The Secret History by Donna Tartt We talk blurbs. Gary Shteyngart blurbs everything, including this gem about Sloane Crosley’s new novel: “The Clasp reads like The Goonieswritten by Lorrie Moore.” It’s kinda brilliant. Liberty’s Desert Island Books: The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, The Giant’s House by Elizabeth McCracken, The Known World by Edward P. Jones, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Sorrows of a Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, My Name is Asher Levby Chaim Potok  Station Eleven Books: Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy, Pat the Bunny by Dorothy Kunhardt, a Charles Portis book other than True Grit Wild Book: Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson. Possibly on an iPad? With an external charger? That’s probably cheating… Originally posted by gifsboom Chapter III   [42:45] In Which We Make Authors Awkward with Our Literary Tattoos Go to Handsell: Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark Dunn, The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America Trade Book by Erik Larson Impossible Handsell: The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith,Tampa by Alissa Nutting Liberty’s Literary Tattoos include:  “What a punishing business it is simply being alive.” -from The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters “Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart.” -from ”In the Desert” Stephen Crane Goodbye Blue Monday Bomb from Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut Baba Yaga Chicken Leg House from Hellboy Juice Box w/ Drink Umbrella from The Tick Last Book Gifted: M Train by Patti Smith Liberty has very literary cats. Their names are Steinbeck (instead of Spork from Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway) & Millay Emma’s cat’s name is Link.
