The Book Swap Podcast

On this special premiere episode of The Book Swap Podcast Liza and Cassandra delve into their first episode theme on books with misleading titles.Their deep dive pick of the week is When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill, which may sound like YA fantasy, and, sure, it may include a phenomenon where women spontaneously turn into dragons. But it's actually an emotionally mature historical fiction about female rage that's grounded in a very real world of 1950s America. And the author wrote the book after hearing Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh.You'll definitely want to jump in on the first stop of the journey this season.

In this season one trailer Cassandra and Liza introduce the concept of the show, their approach to finding hidden gems, and preview the categories they'll be diving into in later episodes.
