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 naming our most anticipated books for November and December.

Last one of the year. This is our last one of the year. And we know y'all love these episodes. So stick around. There's some great books coming out. Plus, we interview Kim A. Snyder, who is the filmmaker behind the new documentary about librarians fighting book bands. It's called the librarians. It's a fantastic documentary. And y'all have been talking about it.

And we got Kim on the show. So we're very excited to have her on. And she talks about fighting book bands. She talks about what you can do. She talks about making documentaries. It's a fantastic interview show stick around. Give librarian swords. Yeah. There we go. Solve a lot of problems. But first, Brea, what are you reading? I'm reading a book that all of the glasses have already read, I think, this year, which is the new V. Schwab. Oh, yeah. It is Barry Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by the E. Glassers were on it, man. If I hadn't already read my hunker for the Reading Glasses' Glasses Challenge, this would be that. I didn't realize it was a hunker.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, it's huge.

It takes place in three different timelines.

1,500s in Santa Domingo, 1800s in London, and 2019 in Boston.

I literally just started this book, so I can't tell you much right now, except that the 1500s one, it's about this young girl who she figures out that basically she has this bright red hair.

And she knows that she has to like use that to her advantage because she's in sort of a disadvantaged situation where she's born in a disadvantaged situation.

She knows she needs to find a way to get out of this small town she lives in.

And then I've also been to 2019 Boston where there's a...

I think the second book we've read this year that is in 2019 in Boston.

Yeah, that's weird.

Like a college party and a girl like doesn't want to be there

and she meets this sort of mysterious other girl and that girl starts, is very alluring and we get to see this whole relationship unfold. I think it's about vampires, but I don't know what the book is. Is it vampires? I have no idea. Okay, wow, I'm going to find out, I guess. Sorry if that's a spoiler.

I don't actually know what this book is about.

But it is beautifully written.

I think it's my first V.

Schwapo. I have no idea. Okay. Wow. I'm going to find out, I guess. Sorry if that's a spoiler. I don't actually know what this book is about.
