Conversations #1: True-Crime Podcasts

-


So we are starting a new segment for the podcast called "Conversations." These episodes will feature various topics, whether it's podcasts, current issues, other books we're reading and much much more. We may not all be in the episode together and we might even have special guests!

For our first one, Sarah and I talk about some of our favorite and newly discovered true-crime podcasts. This one got a little bit away from us but only because we could talk podcasts for hours. That's no joke you guys. But we promise in the future to try and keep these to 30-40 minutes.

As promised in the episode, here are all the podcasts we talked about if you want to check them out. If you like true crime stories, then you definitely should. Apologies in advance for probably getting some things wrong or pronouncing names wrong. We'll do better about our research next time, work and life kept us pretty busy this week so our research slacked a little bit.

The Joy of Reading

One of the most asked questions I get as a children's librarian revolves around book lists. From award winning and appropriate reading level lists, I have to say I have a love/hate relationship with them. I understand the titles on those lists are important books that kids should be reading but these days it's hard to get kids to read. I know Harry Potter and the Percy Jackson series are all the rage (don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest Harry Potter fan you'll ever meet!) but I love suggesting books I grew up with and many of them don't have award stickers on the front cover. Growing up in my house, my siblings and I were fortunate that our parents let us read whatever we wanted, there was little restriction. Except for the few times my sister and I would sneak into my brother's room to read Stephen King books or thumb through pages in Jurassic Park, looking for the horrific and graphic description of someone being eaten by a dinosaur.

What's On Sarah's Bookshelf?  Horrorstor  by Grady Hendricks: You know that scene in  I Am Legend  when Will Smith's dog runs into the abandoned building and Will goes in after Samantha (His German Shepard),  you see  zombies all huddling together  and you want to scream because it's creepy af. That is what I kept envisioning while reading this story. It's a combination of  I Am Legend  meets the recent television adaptation of the  The Mist in a store that resembles an  Ikea . Ghost haunting in a furniture store? Count me in!  Bitch Planet  by Kelly Sue DeConnick: The first book in a series of adult graphic novels,  Bitch Planet  focuses on exploitation and women in an off-planet prison. The narrative moves back and forth through time, so we learn how each character is arrested and their experience within the prison. Although I quit after a few seasons, it's basically  Orange is the New Black  but infinitely better.   The Yellow Wallpaper  by Charlotte
