Epigraph
Welcome to Episode 18, our first ever LIVE show, recorded on September 28th at King's Books in Tacoma, WA. We rapid-fire interviewed three booksellers and two authors. Surprisingly, the audio is better than episodes recorded in the comfort of our homes.

In Which We Talk About Big Books and Definitely Lie, Kim Gushes Over Leah Dieterich, and We Suggest People Stop Listening to Us and Buy Books Instead
sweet pea Flaherty, owner of King's Books in Tacoma, WA
For the record, A Room of One's Own is still a feminist bookstore
King's Books has fourteen book clubs, including one that only reads books about cults and one that only reads books about medical issues. They also have such unconventional events as virtual reality film showings and 80s workout nights (#Cher).
sweet pea's Reading:
- Before She Sleeps by Bina Shah
sweet pea's Excited About:
- Training School for Negro Girls by Camille Acker
- Nanny Helen Burroughs (she's a person, not a book—but sweet pea wishes there was a book about her)
sweet pea's Desert Island Pick:
- a book large enough to act as a sun hat
- Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
sweet pea's Bookseller Confession:
- "being a bookstore owner and event planner and bookkeeper and etc... that I don't have a lot of time to read"
Uh, can all the booksellers whose "confession" this is raise their hands?
sweet pea's Favorite Bookstore:
- a bookstore in the back of an antique store in Knoxville, TN (if you know what bookstore this is, tweet us!)
- Dixon Street Bookshop in Fayetteville, AR
Find sweet pea On the Internets:
Facebook doesn't let you have "queer" in your name and challenged sweet pea's legal name twice
Our first guest author, Leah Dieterich, is the author of Vanishing Twins (Soft Skull)
Leah's Reading:
- Amateur: A True Story about What Makes a Man by Thomas Page McBee
This is an artistic rendition of Kim's reaction to Leah's "what are you reading" answer:
The back covers of Soft Skull's galleys are on point:
Leah's Favorite Bookstore(s):
- Skylight Books in Los Angeles, CA
- Powell's in Portland, OR

Ariana's Excited About:
