Get your overflowing pot of pasta, and hunker down while Olivia and Manda discuss the famous and beloved children author and illustrator, Tomie dePaola!

Join us to figure out what Biographia Literaria is, and what is included on Olivia's and Manda's lists. What's on your list? (This is a moldy-oldy episode from a year ago, that somehow missed posting).

Join Olivia and Manda as they say hello to 2025 by sharing their favorite books from 2024. We ended the old year grateful for all of our listeners, and wish you all a very safe and happy new year full of books!

Happy Holidays! We're gifting you this bonus episode! So, get your wand, broom, and owl ready for today's discussion of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Olivia and Manda are joined by OG listener, Angie, for a discussion of both the first book and film in the Harry Potter franchise.

Mary from Circ joins us for a discussion about Jennifer Egan's 2012 serialized Sci-Fi story, "Black Box." We put on our college-y English lit thinking caps, and try to determine what makes something literary fiction, and if the story is a metaphor about something other than spies!

Looking for unique gifts for your best guys, gals, and pals? Olivia and Manda are here with a list of great books to gift your friends and loved ones this holiday season. Happy Holidays!
