What do you do when the woman you love dies? Well, of course you dig her up and you live with her.

Aw.

That is really mysterious.

The strange, the bizarre, the unexpected.

The Box of Oddities.

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 May 12, 26. I'm Liberty Hardy, here with Emily Martin, and we're coming to you from bookriot.com.

Emily, how's it going?

It's going okay.

Yeah, as if I don't already know.

I think you didn't already listen to me complained for like three minutes before we started. We did a little preamble.

We did like a 20 minute chat before this, just, you know, so we could just get straight to the books because, you know, that's what the listeners are here for. Yeah. But we like to catch up with each other. So we did that ahead of time. Yeah. You're welcome. You're on the other side of the country. That's right. West Coast. I still get confused sometimes and go oh my goodness i missed it and i'm like

oh yeah no yeah it's always like a math every time we're trying to schedule this recording i have to do

a little bit of like math really quickly yeah that's all right though we don't mind doing math for

the listeners yeah we do it all for you.

Yeah. You know, like some people have to like point to things or like they make the phone symbol when they're talking about like call me or whatever.

Like I always have to move my hands and count backwards. Like I go one, two, three, four when I'm trying to figure out like the time difference.

Like if you, if I sat on my hands, I don't think I could tell you the time difference. Like, it's just, it wouldn't happen. Yeah, I have it easier because I get to count forward. I think adding is always easier than some time for some reason. I don't know. Yes, especially when it comes to books. Don't take my books. So speaking of books, as if that's not what we're going to do for the next 35 minutes, what are you reading these days?
