Chris and Emily are happy to welcome back author SHULY CAWOOD to talk about her new poetry collection, SOMETHING SO GOOD IT CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH. Shuly reads a poem and talks about her poetic process, and we ask her to discuss our favorite(s) in the collection. We enjoy Shuly's poetry in part because it is so accessible. Biblio Adventures are always fun and interesting, and we went on one that opened up a huge new-to-us genre, ROMANCE! We recap a conference we attended at Yale, Popular Romance Fiction: The Literature of Hope. Chris watched the Senate Judiciary Committee's Hearing on Book Bans. We also had a great day in NYC with Aunt Ellen visiting The New York Society Library, The Corner Bookstore, and Kitchen Arts and Letters. Oysters were also involved. Some of the books we've read since the last episode include (not surprisingly) two romance novels. Chris read CLEAT CUTE by Meryl Wilsner and Emily read the first in the Hell's Belles series by Sarah MacNeal, BOMBSHELL. Chris finished THE INFERNO by Dante. Emily goes out on a limb and declares that PROPERTIES OF THIRST by Marianne Wiggins might land on her top 10 list this year. She also finished THIN PLACES by Kerri Ní Dochartaigh and loved ZORRIE by Laird Hunt which was one of our BookTube buddy Russell of Ink and Paper Blog's favorites in 2021. So many books! And we are thrilled about it. And also happy that it is Autumn, one of our favorite seasons.

The ARC streak continues with Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner. Professional soccer rookie Phoebe Matthews has been drafted to play for the New Orleans Krewe with hopes for a callup to the national team. The good news? She'll get to play with her idol, Grace Henderson. The bad news? Grace is gorgeous and talented and maybe a little grumpy. Is that bad news though? Seems like Grace is into Phoebe, too. Is teammates with benefits a thing? Also discussed: sentient inanimate object erotica, double dragon/dog/demon dongs, and other hot soccer romances.

Helloooo lovely listeners of the pod! This is episode 16 of season 4 and even though the episode was recorded over a month ago, like our Marxist foremothers, we are topical as ever. Some shop talk at the top of the episode: 1) RIP to twitter account asunnybooknook (fly high… gone but never forgotten), 2) Renaissance substack essay 3) new butch-femme zine on the scene! First we start with a hottake about how butch is not a dirty word. We love and support butches with the fervor of American Megachurch Televangelicalism and that is our God given duty. Everyone love your local butch! Secondly, we talk about the performance of “sapphism” in Fletcher and Miley Cyrus's NYC performance. We explore the DYKEotomy of “out queer artists” versus “artists who make queer art.” TLDR; stop telling us to “stream out queer artists” when said queer artists are not as talented or gay as Taylor Swift. Last hottake is about “Stalinism” and people making their unwillingness to listen and learn YOUR problem in your space! Either get with the program or don't act entitled to my time. The joint media discussed is Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner. Sunny read the novel in 2021, recommended it in early 2022, and Renaissance read it in December 2023– and gets hot on the mic. Sorry, literary studies moment… Not all “representation” is good! But we already knew that. Sunny formally recommends Sedating Elaine by Dawn Winter, another dark modern contemporary evil woman dating woman novel (a classic genre). Renaissance recommends The Indie Movie™ Frances Ha (2012) directed by Noah Baumbach and starring Greta Gerwig. It's possible that many of you have already watched this but we wanted to put it in the books.Hope you all enjoy this episode and once again please email us your thoughts and hot takes! thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.comPatreonTwitterInstagramYoutube

We discuss "Something to Talk About" by Meryl Wilsner. We deep dive into character development, romantic chemistry, and what hooks us in a story.
“If only we could just read and not go to our jobs and stuff.” -Quote of the episode Author Meryl Wilsner reads from and discusses their novel Something to Talk About back in June for Pride month. The book follows Jo and Emma in a what starts as a Hollywood rumour and looks like it might become a relationship. Meryl answers questions from the zoom audience as well. Queers romance authors/books mentioned by Meryl: Alyssa Cole Alexandria Bellefleur Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers Brown Sisters books by Talia Hibbert (they end up with men but 2 of the 3 of them are queer probably, says Wilsner) Rachel Spangler who has a few books at the library already You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson (YA) Higher by Roz Alexander She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen Sweet and Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler Casey tells our listeners about her blog called Casey the Canadian Lesbrarian, and five very recent Canadian queer and trans books: Polar Vortex by Chani Mootoo My Art is Killing Me by Amber Dawn Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) by Hazel Jane Plante A History of My Brief Body by Billy-Ray Belcourt The Subtweet by Vivek Shraya Tell us what your favourite queer Canadian books are!

We also dive into discussing bisexuality and being more masculine presenting - how misconceptions and stereotypes change based on your presentation (more masculine or feminine) and how to be more inclusive and make less assumptions about other's queerness based on their appearance. We truly loved talking to Alex - you can find her on Instagram at @_verbosa and you can find us on Instagram and Twitter at @thebookstagays and on our individual instagrams at @thebookadvocate and @staxsonstaxs
Welcome to The Island Library podcast, where your hosts put a fun twist on the get-to-know-you-question by asking one another if the book they've read will take up a spot in their library if they were stranded on a desert island.
