Ep. 45- I Could Believe It, I'm An Alien (Light From Uncommon Stars)

Send us Fan MailGrab some donuts and your headphones! It's February! Which means it's time to talk about the winner of the Standalone-Showdown! But first---Laura keeps telling Hannah to watch Ozark, but she won't do it and Laura really wants to talk about this show with her. Laura also thinks Laura Linney just deserves an Emmy for that show.  Just give it to her.  Hannah feels really conflicted about some shows that she's been watching, rightfully so, and gives us her book list of "February Hopefuls." Then we dive into our discussion of Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki, a weird little gem of a book that we both loved. TW:  physical and emotional abuse; transphobia; homophobia; misgendering; deadnaming; rape; sexual assault; racism; child pornography; self harmAlso, be sure to check out Literature & LoFi's #FebruarySheWrote !!Media Mentions:Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka AokiThe Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and Brandon SandersonHow I Met Your Father---HuluSingle Drunk Female---HuluOzark---NetflixWhat We Do In The Shadows---HuluHacks---HBOmaxTed Lasso---AppleTVBridgerton---NetflixJade City by Fonda LeeJade War by Fonda LeeJade Legacy by Fonda LeeThe Brown Sisters trilogy by Talia HibbertShe Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-ChanLiterature and LoFi---YouTubeMary Jane by Jessica Anya BlauDaisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins ReidWhile We Were Dating by Jasmine GuilloryHomegoing by  Yaa GyasiLook at Me by Jennifer EganWe Ride the Storm by Devin MadsonDear Martin by Nic StoneThe Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel WilkersonWings of Ebony by J.
