You're listening to All the Books, a weekly show of recommendations and enthusiasm regarding the week's new book releases and more.

Today is June 30th, 2026. I'm Liberty Hardy, you're with Vanessa Diaz, and we're coming to you from bookriot.com.

Vanessa, hello. Hello. How is it June 30th already? Or it's about to be worth in the past. I know.

Oof.

Yeah, it's here.

It's pretty wild.

Yeah.

The year is halfway over.

We're seeing all the middle of the year, roundups, check-ins.

We're going to do a little one ourselves coming up here later in the show.

But first, we're going to talk about what we're reading. What are you up to? I am reading, if anybody has listened to the book or I podcast, and you've already heard me talk about this, my bad. But one is a book that Rebecca has recommended really full-throatedly called Night Objects by Eli Raphael, which I think was, where did it pop up on one of the like Barnes and Noble like best of the year lists, I think, but is sort of like a kind of literary dark academia that takes place in like the Washington State. And she's just spoken so like highly of it. I'm like, yeah, I'm going to do that. And then I'm reading, I say finally, because I feel like a lot of most people have, not most, a lot of people have read this. I'm reading yesteryear by Carol Claire Burke, and I'm actually reading it for an episode of book write podcast like the book club on Patreon. So we can drop a link to that for anybody who's interested. But I'm really, really jazz to have what I hope is like a juicy conversation about this book. Because no like, two reactions have been the same and the people that I've talked to who've read this. Did you, I know we talked about, y'all talked about it on the show, but did you read this one? Yeah. Okay. I did. I'm interested. I think the writing was very compelling. That's, that actually has been universal through most of the people I've talked to. It's just the feeling about the book itself, the content. I can't wait. I love book discourse. So I'm really excited to

get into this one. So yeah, that's what I'm reading. Awesome. You have a theme. I do have a theme.

Yeah. Well, yeah. So I'm throwing myself a little read-a-thon this weekend.

Um, I was going to do it last weekend because my husband said I needed to relax.
