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

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

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

Yeah, that's right, I left out actress.

This episode we're talking about

personalizing your book collection because we're fucking nerds.

But first...

sent a book and I took it. It's called San Pacu by Kate Gavino who it's a comic book and or a graphic novel I would say and who could say what's the difference.

She probably a bunch of people who can say.

It was some people who well definitely say. It's one book. It's a book, it's a hard back book, hard cover.

Do you know about this idea?

It's if your whites of your eyes show like above or below it's like a bad
