Episode 25: We Wish to Clarify That It Is a Merman Not a Dolphin
from Shelf Esteem · host Trudy Morgan-Cole
I started talking about books with journalist Andrew Sampson when I ran across his book-focused newsletter on Twitter. That led to me inviting Andrew and his friend Nicole Boggan, who works in arts administration, onto the podcast to talk about nonfiction vs fiction, the value of being able to say "Same!" when you read a book, and the perils of choosing a novel your whole book club might hate. As always you can read a complete list of all the books we discussed at: https://shelfesteem2017.wordpress.com/2019/04/30/episode-25-we-wish-to-clarify-that-it-is-a-merman-not-a-dolphin/
