Talk Booky Gets Lost in Translation: Episode Three

The last two week so April have been a mixed bag for Talk Booky. On the one hand, Felicia started full-time teaching while taking several literature classes, meaning she read a lot (of student writing) and had to write an ungodly amount about the few books she read.  On the other, Aaron finished three five-star books, almost finishing his TBR for the first time since starting the podcast. Regardless, this has been a fun one. Join us as we cover news about raising literacy rates and celebrating women who are pushed to the edge (weird combo this week), and talk through several books ranging from detective stories set during the Civil Rights Movement to fluffy dreams of turning into an eagle to questionable dietary restrictions in a dystopian future. It's an absolutely wild ride. We wrap up with some superlatives and a fun question on living in literary worlds to lighten the mood. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.    Books Discussed at Length: Black Betty - Walter Mosley Devil in a Blue Dress - Walter Mosley The Eye of the World - Robert Jordan Romeo and Juliet - William Shakespeare Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop - Takuya Asakura Dallergut Dream Department Store - Miye Lee Tender is the Flesh - Agustina Bazterrica The Vegetarian - Han Kang The Ten Loves of Mr. Nishino - Hirami Kawakami   News: Felicia - https://booktrib.com/2026/04/22/when-life-unravels-womens-fiction-with-a-pulse-of-suspense/  Aaron - https://www.aol.com/news/dolly-parton-free-book-program-103000672.html    Contact: Email - [email protected] Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/talkbooky/ Felicia's GoodRead's - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/10748838-felicia Aaron's GoodRead's - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/27722090-aaron
