On this episode of Books, Booze, and B.S., Mike is joined by Sarah, Janene, and new guest Julie to discuss Lucy Gilmore’s The Lonely Hearts Book Club. The group shares impressions of the novel — its multi-perspective storytelling and themes of loneliness, friendship, and community — and highlight favorite passages and characters.
The conversation then turns to the public library system: library cards, Libby and Hoopla apps, programs and museum passes, book sales, and ideas for more adult-focused library events.
Finally, the group previews the Winter Olympics, naming favorite events and speculate about which events they’d try. Along the way they swap drink picks, cookie recipes, and casting ideas for the characters.
Happy listening.
