Books and Bites Podcast, Episode 58
JCPL librarians bring you book recommendations and discuss the bites and beverages to pair with them.
On this episode, we discuss the tenth prompt in the Books and Bites 2021 Reading Challenge, books from a non-human perspective. We share plenty of options for this challenge, with books from the point of view of a vampire, a pacifist dragon, a robot, and more. Plus, our Adult Outreach Librarian Peri Conley stops by to talk about her love of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
