It's Summer Reading season! You know what that means…beach reads, sunshine, and good times! So of course, on this episode of Shelf Motivated you'll hear about:
Late capitalism and the Potemkin City Limits of the Ikea apartment, books about the Supreme Court, supermarkets, Multi-Level Marketing, a collection of poetry by a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant and Pulitzer Prize winner, and tales of Sarah's missed opportunities as a grocery store manager! Add a wildly expensive horror novel hardcover edition, and of course… Proust. Throw in a cozy mystery about a Hungarian Tea House for good measure and you get the Shelf Motivated Summer Reading Spectacular!
