Hi, everyone!Unfortunately, circumstances are way outside my control and this is the last episode of FBOL. I want to thank you all endlessly for being such an amazing community and audience. I had some fantastic books on the schedule, but because all of my equipment is toast and I don't know where I'll be living, when, and for how long, recording new episodes is off the table. The person who finds me with the best Attic Wife joke gets my enduring love.Please send some support to Cayce Osborne, who is an absolute gem and fantastic writer:https://cayceosborne.com/ More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

Bianca Hernandez-Knight (@BookHoarding) is back for the first time since our Northanger Abbey episode to discuss Jane Austen and the politics of adapting her. We're focusing on Nikki Payne's brilliant "Pride + Protest," but it's a multifaceted conversation about interacting with Austen, her world, and ours. Step aside, tradwives. Jane belongs to other people now.Find Bianca across social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biancahernandez/?hl=en Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/0368683034fe/bookhoarding Linktree for others: https://linktr.ee/bookhoarding More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

I am not above telling you that I suffered through our last three books. They were awful, and they made me sad, not in the way that TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES made me sad, but sad for real life people. But this book doesn't. Not one bit.Lynne Childress's podcast, FINE BEATS AND CHEESES, is also a wonderful time, so please do go listen to it. They're incredible.Fine Beats & Cheeses show: https://fine-beats-cheeses.captivate.fm/ More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

I had no idea until about two weeks ago that the classic 1946 Christmas movie, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE was based on a self-published short story called "The Greatest Gift." And not until last week did I, you know, read it in order to prep for this episode. You can read it here, if you want: https://www.tor.com/2008/12/25/the-greatest-gift/ That being said, most of the beats you know from the movie are there: the bridge, the angel, the regret, the rejoicing. It has a lot going on in a few thousand words. David and I get into it, and America, and PTSD, and small towns, and Marlo Thomas.You can find David online here: https://linktr.ee/carriagereturn And you can join me in Portugal next May by clicking here: https://www.trovatrip.com/trip/europe/portugal/portugal-with-emily-edwards-may-2024 Because what I say in the episode is true: I don't want to be the George Bailey of my friend group. And unfortunately, I haven't run into any angels lately, so I guess what Annie Lennox says is true: Sisters are doin' it for themselves. More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.
