Our Favourite Unproblematic Authors | R.F. Kuang, Xiran Jay Zhao, Chloe Gong & More

The Book Jar Podcast

Megan and Marissa switch up their topic to talk about some amazing authors who also seem like great human beings. From calling out racism and misogyny and talking about hard-to-talk-about topics to donating time, money, and resources to charity, these authors are some of our favourites to read and recommend – on and off the page. Inspired by some recent events in the book world, this topic aims to talk about authors we'd happily recommend to anyone – and we're starting with you!

We begin with our most currently read novels and finish the episode by discussing our next week's topic, and our upcoming reads!

Expect us to discuss:

• Xiran Jay Zhao (Iron Widow, Heavenly Tyrant)
• R.F. Kuang (Yellowface, Babel, The Poppy War)
• Chloe Gong (These Violent Delights, Our Violent Ends, Immortal Longings)
• Susan Dennard (Witchlight Series, The Luminaries)
• Hank Green (An Absolutely Remarkable Thing & A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor)
• Garth Nix (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, Clariel, Goldenhand)
• Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings, The Stormlight Archive Series)
• Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
• Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder
• Tao Te Ching by Laozi
