You're listening to reading glasses, a show about book culture and literary life designed to help you read better. I'm author and

book devour, Mallory O'Mara and I'm Bria Grant filmmaker and E-reader.

This episode we're solving your bookish friend problems. We got a few.

Mm-hmm. Plus we test out a magnetic book ribbon and recommend some gay cowboy books.

But first, Bria, what are you reading?

I, okay, we got a care package from Hello Comics, who, I don't know if they're a sponsor this week, but they are a sponsor of the show so I'll just let you know

They're sponsor of the show but they also picked out comics they thought we would like and yeah

Them to us which I was like it was like it felt like a little angel floated down from the heavens,

and was like, here's some comics.

Comics, I love.

So I read the cutest comic called Thangs by Sarah Anderson.

It's so good. OK, I had never read this. It came out in 2020.

It's a short little comic and y'all can get through this in 20 minutes.

But it's all written and drawn by her by Sarah Anderson.

And it's about this vampire who meets

her ultimate love match, which is a werewolf.

And it's just like little things about them together

where like, you know

know they're going on a walk and like the vampire has to carry an

umbrella everywhere she goes or like they you know the the

where wolf goes to kiss her but he accidentally ate garlic.

And it's just like how cute their little relationship is.
