Reading Update | Current Reads, New Starts & a Very Good Dog
We’re back with another reading update, and this one brings a couple of finished books, a few new starts, and some truly excellent Pepper cameos right at the beginning, which frankly feels like the kind of literary contribution we should all respect. Branden has finished The Desert Rose by Larry McMurtry and is currently reading Kings of the Wyld for book club and Dubliners by James Joyce, with The Swerve up next. I’ve finished Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier, I’m now reading Frankenstein, and I’m just beginning to listen to Kings of the Wyld as well. As always, we’re chatting about what’s working, what’s surprising us, and where our reading is taking us next. Thanks for spending some time with us. Over on the After Show, Tayler shares her thoughts on Frankenstein and how she feels like maybe reading the physical book, if possible, is the ideal way to go. Maybe? https://www.patreon.com/posts/after-s... If you enjoyed today’s episode, thanks for being here. And if you’d like a little more bookish conversation, the After Show is waiting over on Patreon.
