S. 6 Ep. 137 -Hello Summer Reading with Guest Bookseller Sam Miller - 6/15/22

Once again we have our favorite local bookseller, Sam Miller, of Carmichaels Books in Louisville KY on the show to talk about summer reads. She is like our in house book seller who joins us every summer and winter to tell us what is new and notable in bookstores.   Not all of these books are the typical fluffy summer books about the beach and booze; we have her cover all genres—sci/fi, cookbooks, local authors, YA, and literary fiction. We always enjoy when Sam visits us. And this week besides us, she also got to visit with resident cat Miso who was spreading the love around in the studio while we were recording.   www.carmichaelsbookstore.com  Follow us -Facebook at The Perks of Being a Book Lover - Instagram at @perksofbeingabookoverpod - For show notes for any episode, go to our website at perksofbeingabooklover.com.     Books Mentioned In This Episode: 1- The Tale of Halcyon Crane by Wendy Webb 2- Shirley Jackson:  A Rather Haunted Life by Ruth Franklin 3- In Defense of Witches by Mona Chollet 4- This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub 5- Horse by Geraldine Brooks 6- Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deane 7- Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 8- The Storied Life of AJ Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin 9- Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid 10- How to Be Eaten by Maria Adelmann 11- Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi  12- Elsewhere by Alexis Schaitkin 13- A Mirror Mended by Alix E.
