Streamin and DreaminIn the looming orange-tinged shadows of the current political situation, six lovers-of-story got together to have a chat about books. Why? Because first of all: they love books. Second of all: Because books shine light on darkness, give voices to those silenced, record history for those erased, recognize those unseen, and punch fucking nazis. So, six people, ten books each, two hours and fifteen minutes. Strap in folks, because it’s a massive download of information in a relatively short amount of time, and you’re going to want to pay attention, because you’re getting recommendations from some of the most refined palates in the world of book tastemaking that are making taste these days:* Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror)* Haley “Spoonie Reads”* Peg/Marguerite Turley* Tiffany “Conlibros” Gonzalez* Greg Greene (igreggreene)* and… myself.
