You're listening to Reading Glasses, a show about book culture and literary life designed

to help you read better.

I'm author and book devour or Mallory O'Mara.

And I'm Bria Grant, filmmaker and e-reader.

This episode, we're talking about some very specific terms for some very specific reader

theory, things, feelings, thoughts, notions.

They're book words, words related to things in the book community that maybe you've heard

of, maybe you haven't, but maybe you could add to your vocabulary.

Very exciting.

But first, what are you reading, Bria?

I just finished a book for my book club, which you've probably read.

It's The Girl Who Love Tom Gordon by Stephen King.

I have read that.

I enjoyed that book.

Yeah, it's, it came out in 2005, no, it came out in 1999, and it is about a nine-year-old

girl who gets lost in the woods.

And I will say, I don't want to spoil anything, but basically it's just about her being lost

in the woods.

If you're enjoying something along the lines of yellow jackets or something else right

now.

It's very, very much in that vein.

But if you also like woods, scary woods stuff, it's very good for that.
