Othersode #117: Kids are Morons / Stand by Me with Catriona Ward

from Book Squad Goals · host #BookSquadGoals

You guys want to see a dead body? Well we’re not going to show you one, but we ARE going to talk about Stand by Me (1986) with one of our favorite authors, Catriona Ward! We talk about our personal experiences with the film, which characters we’d be (à la Sex and the City), nostalgia, grief, and the adults in the movie. Then we get into a totally spoiler-free interview with Catriona about her newest novel, Nowhere Burning. After that we shamelessly make her promise to come back for future episodes because we love her, duh. Read along with us for our next Bookpisode on George Falls Through Time by Ryan Collett on April 14! Then get ready to be a hater with us when we cover Freida McFadden’s The Boyfriend on April 28. TOC:30 – WELCOME CATRIONA!
