Welcome to Litsy!

Happy Fourth!!!! 🎇 ⠀
⠀
Yesterday, we re-released an episode about Tara Westover‘s episode, one of my personal favorites that we‘ve talked about on Unabridged. Did you read it? What did you think? Take a listen, and share your thoughts about the memoir!

Our March Book Club book is Julie Murphy's Dumplin'. (Spoiler alert: we love it!) Look out for our episode about Dumplin' this Wednesday, March 6, and our discussion about the movie adaptation on March 13.⠀
⠀
In the mean time, have you read Dumplin'? If so, what did you think?

In the newest episode of Unabridged, we share our thoughts about a talk by Nikki Giovanni at Bridgewater College. We hope you'll listen via iTunes, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast catcher (or check us out on unabridgedpod.com). We'd love to know what you think about the episode or Giovanni's work.

On Wednesday's episode, we discussed the works of Ibi Zoboi, including Pride, her retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I've been a fan of retellings of classics for a long time--here are a few of my favorites . . . except for Re Jane, which is high on my TBR list!⠀
⠀
What retellings would you recommend?

I cannot tell you how much of an Ibi Zoboi fan I am, after reading American Street and Pride. Check out our latest Unabridged highlights episode focusing on these two works. We debate the merits of Pride and Prejudice, dive (spoiler-free) into both novels, and then delve deeper (with spoilers!) into American Street.

We have SO enjoyed sharing some of our favorite romance novels with you this week, in honor of Valentine's (and Galentine's?) Day. Now we'd love to know: what romance do YOU love?⠀

I love romance books so much! If you do, too (or if you don't but want to get started!), check out our newest episode of Unabridged, focusing on books about love. We share some of our favorite romantic books.⠀
⠀
Which books would you recommend to us?

Ibi Zoboi is a new favorite--I want to read EVERYTHING she writes. This novel captures some of the best parts of Pride and Prejudice and plants them firmly in a new ground that rejuvenates the story. I absolutely love Zuri and Darius (even if he's not quite as off putting as Darcy!). Brilliant novel. Can't wait to talk about this and Pride on Unabridged podcast!

On today's episode of Unabridged, we discuss the books we're anticipating this year. What books would you recommend that we add to this list?⠀
