#12 - Escaping Into a Good Book with Amanda White

Mar 26, 2019

This week my friend Amanda White and I are talking about beach reads and books to escape into. Mainly because, as she said, if you can't go on a fancy spring break trip right now, just escape into a book!

We talk about our favorite "comfort food" books, all the time travel stories we can remember, and whether or not "bibliotherapy" is a real word. (Verdict: It might not be, but it should be.) And once again, I try to rationalize romance novels and TV shows about aliens.

MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:

• River of Time series by Lisa Tawn Bergren
• Timeline by Michael Crichton
• Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi
• Everneath series by Brodi Ashton
• Timeless (NBC TV show)
• Unblemished series by Sara Ella
• Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer
• Wires and Nerve, vol. 1 (Lunar Chronicles graphic novel)
• Babysitter's Club graphic novels

ALSO MENTIONED:

• Agatha Christie's Ordeal by Innocence on Amazon Prime
• The Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
