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 talking about book

hangovers. That's when you read a book, you really like it, you like... You like it so much much it ruins everything for you and then you have to drink a bloody Mary yeah and then how to cure them maybe it is bloody Mary's we're gonna let you know plus we interview Tom Ryan about his new mystery book and recommend enticing books to get you out of a book

slump.

But first, Bria, what are you reading?

I read a book that's popular with the glasses right now.

I don't know, I'm just taking all my cues from whatever the glasses are reading.

It's not a bad idea.

If you don't subscribe to our newsletter, Mallory figures out what the glasses are reading

and does a little thing at the bottom of every newsletter where it's like,

here's what the glasses are reading.

This is what popular, what what's popular and then I go

look at that and then I take whatever they're reading so I'm reading the new

Rachel Harrison which obviously I was going to read anyway but I saw people

reading it it's called so thirsty and it's a Rachel Harrison

vampire book you know I'm big fan of hers I love that cover too it is really good it's like a

little chalice oh it is kind of a cocktail I'm looking at it right now

with an oh and in on the toothpick it has a little bat so cute and it's about a woman who's sort of

dreading her birthday and she's in this sort of not great relationship she kind of

knows that her husband cheats on her.
