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

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

And I'm Bria Grant, actress filmmaker and e-reader.

This episode we're talking about thrillers, mysteries, and horror books.

Oh my, and interviewing Tom Ryan.

But first, what are you reading, Bria?

Well, Mallory, here's the thing about podcasting.

We haven't seen each other in a whole month.

Yes, that's this very interesting episode.

We have a lot of bookmarks to talk about.

We have so much, bookmarks to talk about because... We have so much to talk about and

so if you listen to last week's episode, guess what? We recorded that a month ago

because that's the way time works in

podcasting. So you've been directing a movie. I directed a movie so I've been

gone for five weeks or so and now I'm back and you've been on book tour.

Yep.

So we have a lot of books that we haven't talked about.

And there's a few books I read over the movie directing

that I didn't read much, but I did read a couple

and I kind of wanted to talk about one of them now.

How do you feel about that?

Tell me all about it.
