18: Blood Like Magic (w/ Jessilee Windhaus)

This month we are joined by returning guest host Jessilee Windhaus for a discussion of Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury; “an urban fantasy debut following a teen witch who is given a horrifying task: sacrificing her first love to save her family’s magic. The problem is, she’s never been in love—she’ll have to find the perfect guy before she can kill him.” Listen in as we compare this book to the Disney animated film Encanto, we praise the author’s blending of young adult fantasy and science fiction, and Jessilee reveals why she’s dusting off her pun skills.   Guest Host:Jessilee (she/her) is a proud Sacramento native and 20-year theatre and improv veteran who has trained with the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, The Groundlings, and toured with the world-renowned Missoula Children’s Theatre. She is cofounder of the local performing arts nonprofit Empire Arts Collective, as well as the founder of That Plus Chips, a live sketch and improv comedy ensemble.
