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 Omera.

And I'm Bria Grant, filmmaker, and e-reader.

This episode we're giving tips on reading books that look good but have intimidating

content warnings.

Plus, we're discussing book subscription boxes

and recommending sci-fi noir.

But first, Bria, what are you reading?

I read a book.

It's a, hey, it's a, it's a, it's a, tour, novella alert. Tour,

Novella alert. You know, I love a tour novella. That's T-O-R, if you are not familiar with the publishing company. I love their

books. This is a novella that came out. It's a post-apocalyptic novela. Oh, it's made for me. It's

quick. 163 pages. I love that. It's about a world in which the way Bria

loves to describe a book. That really is your favorite starter. A world in which

you can't if you look someone in the eye or the face you immediately want to

kill them and they want to kill you what so it's a little a birdboxy it's a little like there's a few other like you know apocalyptic books that have like similar

weird things like that but it's about a girl named Riley and she has moved

into this house in the middle of nowhere so she won't see people.

She survived this horrible plague and they have like some people have these like very

thick glasses that you can like look through that you what are the

ones you use after you get your eyes dilated or I know what you're talking about

but I don't know what they're called.
