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 Brea Grant, filmmaker, and e-reader.

This episode, we're taking off another box from the 2025 Reading Glasses, Glasses Challenge.

Glasses, glasses, glasses. Reades, Glasses, Glasses,

All the Glasses.

Read an epistolary book.

Plus, we discuss the change in Libby's suspend hold system that has the glasses and a tizzy.

And, you know, and actually I think Mallory and I may disagree on it.

So, like, let's stay tuned for that.

Hot library talk today.

We solve a reader problem about wrist pain. But first, Brea, what are you reading? What are we reading? What are we? Mallory literally just said to me, I'm reading the new Rachel Harrison and I said, oh my God, I am too, which has only happened one other time. Yeah, weirdly enough in almost 10 years of doing this show, we've only been reading the exact same thing at the exact same time. Me one or two other time. Yeah, weirdly enough, in almost 10 years of doing this show, we've only, we've only been reading the exact same thing at the exact same time, one or two other times. What was it? I think it was the Cassandra Peterson's book. Oh, yeah, the Elvira book. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's spooky season. Of course, we're going to be both reading some spooky stuff. Well, Brea, tell us. You say a little bit. I'll say the other, the rest. We're both reading the new Rachel Harrison, which is called Play Nice. We are huge fans of Rachel

on this show. It was on our most anticipated of the fall episode. And it's a haunted house book.

It's a Rachel Harrison hot housebook. When I found out that she was doing a haunted house book,

I got so fucking pumped.

Mallor started sweating.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm scratching my neck.

Her eyes were like, I'm hitting myself on the head with a mallet.

There's steam coming out of my ears, you know.

In true Rachel Harrison Forum, her stories are usually female-centric, which I really like.

And this one is no different.
