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.

Can you believe it's September? Took me decades before I stopped feeling that I had to go back to school. And now I quite like September. It's a beautiful month here in Quebec. Still mild, but the leaves begin to turn, the nights close in a bit, the light grows deeper. Every now and then we can catch the scent of wood smoke in the air, as fires are lit. It's a very gentle month as we pass from summer into autumn. For those of us who like nothing better than sitting with a tea by the Click if you wish to order fireplace, September is a lovely time.

Fall 2019 Pegasus Books
PEGASUS BOOKS FALL 2019 PEGASUS BOOKS FALL 2019 NEW HARDCOVERS THE KING’S WAR The Friendship of George VI and Lionel Logue During World War II Peter Conradi and Mark Logue Following the New York Times bestselling The King’s Speech, this eagerly anticipated sequel takes King George VI and his speech therapist Lionel Logue into the darkest days of World War II. The broadcast that George VI made to the British nation on the outbreak of war in September 1939—which formed the climax of the multi-Oscar-winning film The King’s Speech—was the product of years of hard work with Lionel Logue, his iconoclastic, Australian- born speech therapist. Yet the relationship between the two men did not end there. Far from it: in the years that followed, Logue was to play an even more important role at the monarch’s side. The King’s War follows that relationship through the dangerous days of Dunkirk and the drama of D-Day to eventual victory in 1945—and beyond. Like the first book, it is written by Peter Con- radi, a London Sunday Times journalist, and Mark Logue, Lionel’s grandson, and again draws on exclusive material from the Logue Archive—the collection of diaries, letters, and other documents left by Lionel and his feisty wife, Myrtle. This gripping narrative provides a fascinating portrait of two men and their respective families—the Windsors and the Logues—as they together face the greatest chal- lenge in Britain’s history. PETER CONRADI is an journalist with the London Sunday Times.
