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 naming our most anticipated books for October and November, folks get excited, get pumped.

Plus we discuss a book tech problem about X Libra stickers and whether or not people can find you

with them. But first, what you reading Bria? I'm

reading a book I just finished a book by someone an author you like I read Hum

by Helen Phillips. Oh I was waiting for you to read this so So because it is more me than you.

It is a sci-fi book.

That's what's funny is I love Helen Phillips,

but every time I read one of her books,

I'm like, this is a Bria book.

Yeah, it's weird I've never read her before

because I didn't read the need.

I got it from the library, but then I never read it. It is a stressed out mom book that's why I was like this is a

Priya one yeah it's about a woman who at the very beginning of the book she has

so she her job was to train AI to deal with humans and then she trained it so well she no longer had a job.

And so then her friend was like, well, I know there's this company that's paying people to change their face slightly so that

facial recognition isn't a near future so that facial recognition doesn't work on

you then they pay you like a certain amount of money that'll get you through like a

year or something she was like okay I'm, I'm going to go do that.

So she goes and gets this surgery that'll make sure that she doesn't get recognized.
