Welcome to the Stacks, a podcast about books and the people who read them. I am your host Tracy Thomas and today I am

going to be interviewing Vanessa Hua. Vanessa is the author of A River of Stars.

She is also a columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle, among other things.

But before I get to my conversation with Vanessa,

I wanted to do just a little housekeeping.

All right, here it is, your weekly reminder.

Everything we talk about on today's episode

can be found in the show notes.

There is a link there that will take you to all the books discussed today as well as the

social media accounts for the stacks and our guests.

Plus, if you shop through the links on Amazon, you're helping to keep the stacks free.

If you're looking for an amazing book recommendation, send us an email to asking the stacks at

Gmail.com.

Myself and my guest will read it on air, discuss it, and then give you a personalized book recommendation or five.

So email asking the stacks at gmail.com with your name, what you're looking for,

and maybe a few titles you've loved or hated.
