Episode 309 Short Stories and Essays

Welcome back! We are so pleased you are joining us for our podcast book group: Reading with Libraries!

Check out our shownotes page right here, and get all the links to beverages we enjoyed and books we discussed today.

Who is joining us this week? We are excited to welcome returning Guest Host Emily Kissaine from State Library Services!

These are fun genres to read when you know you have a short amount of time, are traveling, or have other reasons for just wanting to take a bit of reading – not a big commitment. These can be perfect little jewels of stories, fiction or nonfiction; or they are interesting but not enough content to be sustained for an entire book. They are short and just right for that length.

307- Regency Historical Romances

Welcome back! We are so pleased you are joining us for our podcast book group: Reading with Libraries!

This week we are celebrating Valentine’s Day with not only our constant love of books, our podcast book group, and all of you – but also with a look at some Regency romances.

Check out our full shownotes page here, to get links to great resources, all the books we discuss, and the beverages we enjoyed.

We are excited to welcome returning Guest Hosts Annie and Ariel!

Let’s start with a quick definition of our genre. Regency romances are a subgenre of historical romance novels set during the period of the English Regency or early 19th century. There is a lot of overlap between Regency and historical romance, but purists break them into different groups.

Thank you so much for joining us for this discussion with our Reading with Libraries podcast book group! A special thank you to our Guest Hosts Ariel and Annie!

And of course, as we celebrate on Valentine’s Day, remember that we love you guys for being part of our book group each week! Thanks for being such important members of the group, and for the suggestions you send, and nice comments you make. You are our favorite Valentines!
