How exciting, Rosalynn! I have just downloaded the podcast to check out later : )
And on the subject of 'unpopular' opinions of books...I have to confess to a deep-seated dislike of Sally Rooney's 'Normal People' (I can hear the shouting now...Yikes!)

Very exciting that you were a guest on WSIRN! One of my favorite podcasts. Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorites. I finished Demon Copperhead a few weeks ago and am predicting it will be my favorite book of the year. As for unpopular opinions: I cannot get into Joyce Carol Oates. I appreciate that she's so prolific, but I've tried several of her novels and they just don't work for me.
I remember reading High Tide in Tucson when my son was young and I was trying to keep the dream if writing alive. But then I've read almost everything by Barbara Kingsolver. She's one if this writers who challenges herself and teaches me.
I just popped in to say that I am now totally addicted to the 'What should I read next?' podcast, thanks to your post!! I am working my way through the episodes as I go about my day, and am finding them so comforting (although I have to constantly pause whilst I check if the book recs are available at my local library!!)
Hi! I did in fact wander over from listening to your WSIRN episode! Congrats and well done, I enjoyed the listen for sure, and I'm so so glad to find your Substack. I am not a solo parent, but I am a new parent, and I think we could share reading tastes. I love the way you write here about the struggle of articulating why you love a certain book. But you've really done it quite gracefully and I am now on the hunt for a copy of High Tide in Tucson. Cheers.
