You're listening to reading glasses, a show about book culture and literary life designed to help you read better.

I'm author, filmmaker and book devour, Mallory Omera.

And I'm Bray Grant, actress filmmaker, and E-reader.

This episode, we're talking about our rules

for buying books, and interviewing Matilda Sabal

from the Blue Stockings Bookstore in New York City.

But first, what are you reading, Brea?

I'm reading, I've gone back to some graphic novels I've been wanting to get to

that have been sitting on my shelf for so long.

And I am reading the trade for the afterlife with Archie.

Ooh, I love that one.

Yeah, it's like a zombie outbreak in the Archie universe.

It's so fun.

And the art is amazing.

Yeah, it's written by Roberto Aguirre Secasa,

and the art is by Francesco, Frankavilla,

maybe Frankavilla, probably Frankavilla.

It's great. I will, no warned me a lot of dog death in this book.

I'm sorry Briia. No one warned me if I had known you were going to read it more than one

dog death in said book. Yeah. More than two in the photos.

In the photos, they're not photos.

Those are not, it's not real things.
