  • Episode 14: Mother’S Day Reads
    Not Your Mother’s Library Transcript Episode 14: Mother’s Day Reads (Brief intro music) Leah: Hello, and welcome to Not Your Mother’s Library, a readers’ advisory podcast from the Oak Creek Public Library. I’m Leah, one of your hosts. Rachel is also virtually here. This month, guys…this month we need to tweak the title a little bit, because we’re celebrating Mother’s Day! This episode will be all about our mothers’ favorite books, which means that for Rachel and I, this is our mother’s library. Rachel: Hi, everyone. It’s Rachel. As Leah pointed out, we are here to celebrate Mother’s Day. This year, the national holiday takes place on Sunday, May 10th, so be sure to create an artistic portrait out of noodles before that date hits. You know what else makes a great gift? Books! My mum is a mystery enthusiast. Give her a murder to solve, and she’ll be at her most content. She is actually in the process of writing her own series of cozies. For those who aren’t as familiar with what that means, cozies are a mystery subgenre. They focus more on the story, setting, and characters surrounding a whodunit than an in-depth criminal procedure or graphic depictions of violence. Think of M.C. Beaton’s “Agatha Raisin” or the TV show “Murder, She Wrote.” I’ve read the first few novels in mum’s series, which are currently on the road to publication, and they are flat-out really good. I realize that as her daughter I am partial, but I also used to be a copyeditor and have read some genuinely awful manuscripts, so I’m betting that experience balances out my bias.
