Episode 91 - Magpie Reader with Amanda Moulson

from Books with Betsy · host bookswithbetsy

On this episode, Amanda Moulson, co-host of the Curious Readers podcast, talks about finding her heartland as a reader, how much women’s voices influence her reading life, and the ways that podcasting about books changes how she interacts with books. We also go down a bit of an awards rabbit hole and find our shared love of pen and paper.    Curious Readers Podcast    Books mentioned in this episode:    What Betsy’s reading:  So Far Gone by Jess Walter  The Compound by Aisling Rawle  The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabelle Wilkerson    Books Highlighted by Amanda: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry  The Melting by Lize Spit  Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason  Green Dot by Madeleine Gray  Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny  Angel Down by Daniel Kraus  One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad  Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid    All books available on my Bookshop.org episode page.   Other books mentioned in this episode: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel  Anastasia Krupnik by Lois Lowry  Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell  I Am, I Am, I Am by Maggie O’Farrell  Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver  The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny  Buckeye by Patrick Ryan  On the Calculation of Volume by Solvej Balle  Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
