Welcome to The Bookmark, a podcast of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library, hosted by Laura Beutler and Rachel Castle. Surprise, it's a minisode! We had so much to say about Rachel Hawkins'The Villa that we made it a separate episode. Let us know what you think and if you'd like to see more of this kind of episode. Read about how wild the Shelley/Byron carriage road-trip of 1816 was. It was even wilder than this article says, but it gives a good overview.  If you'd like to read the nonfiction book Laura read about the Shelley/Byron Carriage Road-Trip of '16, it's called The Poet and the Vampyre: The Curse of Byron and the Birth of Literature's Greatest Monsters by Andrew McConnell Stott. Check it out from our print collection (820.9145 Sto) or on Hoopla. Text Alerts!
