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, Mallory

O'Mara and I'm Briette Grant filmmaker and e-reader. This episode

we're discussing the differences between book buying and book reading. You

think you know the differences? You think you know the relationship.

You don't. Stick around. Plus an interview with Glasser all-time favorite, Mike Chin, and

recommendations for underwater novels.

But first, Bria, what are you reading?

Now, I think I checked off two reading glasses challenges with this book.

Whoa!

Without meaning to.

I read Once There Were wolves by Charlotte McConnell.

I have this on my TBR. I was wondering if you'd read it. Okay, first of all, I thought I was going to

read a horror book. It's not a horror book. So I will say I checked out.

I picked a book based on its cover. That is a reading glasses challenge check because I started

reading and I was like, is this not a horror book like I just assumed it was it also all takes place in the Scottish Highlands which I didn't realize also

So it's it takes place in a place that I have never been. I've never been to Scotland. So two

Reading Glass's Challenge boxes checked right off. This book is awesome. I could

not believe how good this book was. Okay Oh my so I'm so excited I thought I

I straight up thought it was a horror book or a fantasy novel because I was like once

there were wolves it sounds like fantasy I mean it does sound like a fan it does
