Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing is full of heartbreak. And ghosts. And vomit. But mostly heartbreak. That’s probably why it took both of us a full month to finish it. It was worth it, though. Listen in as we break down the plot, voice and themes in this beautiful book.

Jinkies! We read a mystery and, boy, was it a doozy. There’s homicidal rage, alcoholism and then at some point, we actually got around to discussing the book.
Attica Locke’s Bluebird, Bluebird takes readers into the heart of a small rural Texas town where two murders have shaken up the local community. Listen in for a passionate discussion involving dumb criminals, court procedures and Scooby-Doo.
The first part of our discussion is spoiler-free. So listen in and be sure to check out Bluebird, Bluebird, which was released Sept. 12. Spoilers begin at the 38-minute mark.
