Episode 99 - My Own Library Card with Emily Bogaert

On this episode, Emily Bogaert, a fellow teacher, talks about how her childhood made her fall in love with the library, the joy she feels when getting the right books into the hands of her students, and we talk about the ups and downs of the reading life when you’re a teacher. She also has a reading habit that is absolutely wild and I didn’t even know was still possible.    Books mentioned in this episode:    What Betsy’s reading:  Time, Silence, and Yeast: A Song of Appreciation for Trappist Communities and Their Beer by Marty Tomszak  Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran by Shahrnush Parsipur Small Comfort by Ia Genberg   Books Highlighted by Emily: The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi  Trial by Journal by Kate Klise  Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones  The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai My Friends by Frederik Backman  Mostly Dead Things by Kristen Arnett  With Teeth by Kristen Arnett  Woodworking by Emily St. James  Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel  11/22/63 by Stephen King  The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander  True Biz by Sara Nović   All books available on my Bookshop.org episode page.   Other books mentioned in this episode: North Woods by Daniel Mason  Trust by Hernan Diaz  Little Women by Louisa My Alcott  The Hobbit by J.R.R.
