You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.

episodes is by looking through old notes that I have kept from previous all the

books, podcasts and old HeyYA podcast.

from The Bowles of 2020,

I found an interesting theme emerge,

which is Women writing about space.

As somebody who loves space and has been lucky enough

mix of titles including a work of science fiction a middle grade novel and a non-fiction
