Synopsis:
"Between pretending to be the secretary of her own detective agency and late-night visits to her favorite gay club Whiskers (where a secret knock grants entry), Molly’s life is lived in the shadows.
But when distraught housewife Sylvia seeks help from a detective, Molly’s professional and personal life begin to merge.
When an up-and-coming politician reveals his plan to shutter gay clubs like Whiskers, Molly is concerned.
Then when bodies start appearing, Molly needs to act fast to save her friends and loved ones–old and new–from being the next victims.
Because Molly isn’t the only one with a secret."

Last Episode with April Henry
Today I got to talk with NYT bestselling author (of 28 books!!) April Henry. Her newest book Girl Forgotten features teenager Piper Gray who after her mother dies moves in with her father and begins to investigate the town's cold case murder of a girl named Layla Trello through a podcast. If you enjoyed A Good Girl's Guide to Murder you'll enjoy Girl Forgotten!

We discuss how this book will adapt for a movie, favourite characters, what we thought about the unique writing style, and more! Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we all loved the book!
Tune in for Taylor's last episode as host as we talk about coming of age books, college, and more!
In our traditional booklist style we talk about the books that we have read and want to read by AAPI writers! And, stay tuned for a quick explanation at the end by us of things that our schools have done in general to commemorate and draw attention to this important time. Trigger warning; we briefly mention both a book that contains suicide, and another that contains sexual abuse: this is during Taylor's list of things she wants to read, and her list of nonfiction books
https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/2266-111-new-books-to-read-for-asian-american-pacific-islander-heritage-mon?ref=aapi2022_eb
Check out this list for some good books suggested in the episode!
We discuss what we read in our English classes this year; what we loved, what we hated, what we just didn't get...Tune in for hot takes on John Green, pretty normal and understandable takes on Wuthering Heights, and lots of opinions about AP Lang....
We discuss books about sibling relationships, the tropes that come with it, and what are siblings like (or in this case hate) to read!
We discuss THREE books: Charming as a Verb, Everything Everything, and the Opposite of Always. Its our first time with a new format: book "buddies." Some of us read each book. We really enjoyed it, and hopefully you do too!
We discuss why we reread certain books over and over: from the Umbrella academy to the Hunger Games.
*as a reminder: for those who are new to the pod and do not know: we mention Harry Potter, but we are completely opposed to JK Rowling and are not in any way recommending supporting JK Rowling
https://wordpress.com/home/ontheshelfpod.wordpress.com
We discuss We Were Liars and others, exploring what the different kinds of unreliable narrators are, where the term came from, and our opinions on complicated villains!
*trigger warning: we briefly discuss the idea of the "madman" trope: how this term is offensive, and out of line with current understandings of mental health.
https://www.instagram.com/on_the_shelf_podcast/
We discuss our favorite books about real events, why true stories aren't marketed to teens as much as adults, and what style of storytelling we think makes a great memoir!

Hear all of our thoughts in an extra special hour and 15-minute long episode on the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. We discuss everything from heartbreak, to failed marriages, to real-life Hollywood starlets of the Golden Age, to styles of narration. If you want to avoid spoilers, watch out because there are a couple in the first 15 minutes or so and some around the 40-minute mark.
*trigger warning: some discussion of suicide in relation to content in the book
We break it up into classics, non-fiction, and historical fiction to attempt to get a wide-ranging look at all the wonderful and important things to be reading this time of year.

World Hijab Day recently passed, and it inspired us as a jumping-off point to do a general episode about books by Muslim authors. We have decided to refrain from any "discussions" when talking about books about or by authors of identities that we don't share out of the desire to not put words in the mouths of people who have the lived experience that we don't. Instead, we have linked lots of supplemental reading below! We hope you enjoy!

We discuss the important books that are on our list, and what we’ve already read. Note: we have a conversation about both the continued importance of books about injustice and the way that authors of color can be pressured to feel obligated to write about race by a majority white publishing industry in a way that white authors are not. It was pointed out to several of us pod members that the way that we initially portrayed this idea was not placing enough importance on the continued necessity for books about racial injustice. We want to explain this ahead of time and also apologize. And upon looking back, I can also see how some of the conversation was said in an ambiguous way that did not make clear the true intention of the article that we were referencing on this, and minimized the absolute necessity for stories about racism. This podcast tries to cover a lot of different topics and our goal is to remember at all times that a lot of us are talking about subjects that we have not personally experienced. If you the listener ever feel that there is something insensitive, or misinformed in the episode, or that we are not doing a good job at that goal, please reach out to us in the comments. And here is the article that was mentioned: it does a much better job explaining an idea that we did not give voice to in the best way: https://gal-dem.com/anti-racism-genre-black-lives-matter-race-literature/ :
*and to clear up some of the ambiguity: when we talk about the oversaturation of YA lit: we are saying that it is oversaturated with books by white authors.
