You Should Read: "The Other Mrs. Miller" (with author Allison Dickson!)

Send a textIt’s our longest episode yet, and you know what they say, you can never have too long of a podcast episode (it’s not possible). On this week’s episode, the WYSR team talk about the importance of supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, being anti-racist, and reading books by Black authors. During our book news segment, Julia breaks down the #PublishingPaidMe discussion on Twitter, and Rachael discusses a school board in Alaska that removed several important classic books from the library. (Seriously? We’re still banning books?) Then after the break we are joined by the AMAZING Allison Dickson, author of The Other Mrs. Miller from Putnam Press. We have a fantastic discussion about her book, writing in general, and we commiserate about a certain children’s fantasy author’s recent transphobic Twitter tirade. We want to thank Allison for being our very FIRST author guest—she was so generous with her time and we loved chatting with her and reading her book. You can buy it now wherever books are sold (like Schuler Books, Allison’s indie bookstore shout out of the week! https://www.schulerbooks.com/).  Follow Allison:Twitter: @MsAllieDInstagram: @allisonmdickson Follow WYSR:Twitter: @wysr_podcastInstagram: @wysr_podcastGoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/115539912-what-you-should-read-podcast www.whatyoushouldread.comSupport black-owned bookstores!https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/bookselling/article/83495-black-owned-bookstores-to-support-now.html  Twitter and Instagram: wysr_podcast
