We all know that books can help us escape the real world and they can also demonstrate how we might show up in the world as our whole selves. This episode celebrates both ends of this spectrum. Sally kicks us off with some of her favorite quick horror novellas, a perfect escape for this time of year. Then Nox tells us about the impact the book Fat Girls Hiking had on her. Finally, Ashley chats with Jayne Allen, author of The Most Wonderful Time, a holiday romcom with depth.

Bite-Sized Fright for Spooky Season (0:21)

Novellas are perfect for a sick day, a readathon, or when you are utterly overwhelmed by life and need a quick read to pull you out of reality for a bit. As the weather cools down and we snuggle into spooky season, Sally’s got some short, creepy books for you to check out.

Fat Girls Hiking (6:18)

Nox shares a review of Fat Girls Hiking: An Inclusive Guide to Getting Outdoors at Any Size or Ability by Summer Michaud-Skog. Nox discusses how this book impacted her as a fat, disabled, person of color. She shares some parts that really resonated with her and inspired her, as well as a few places that could use a little more depth. Overall, this book is highly recommended!

Identity, Joy, and Travel with Jayne Allen (16:10)

In this spoiler-free conversation, Ashley and Jayne Allen discuss Jayne’s novel The Most Wonderful Time, how it is more than a holiday novel, and how through newness and tough conversations, the story comes to life.
