The holidays are in full swing. Hopefully, everyone is on top of their seasonal shopping and ready to relax and have fun. But if not, we can help. Today Gary sits down with Liz Williams, the award-winning author of Comet Weather, Blackthorn Winter, and the recently released Embertide, to discuss what Liz has been reading, what she’d recommend, what she’s been working on, and, maybe, some holiday reading too.
As always, our thanks to Liz. We hope you enjoy the episode.
It’s fitting that the tenth day of the Advent Calendar, which is also the 600th (!!) official episode of The Coode Street Podcast, should feature a dear friend, Guy Gavriel Kay, who chats with Jonathan about what he’s been reading lately, what he might recommend, his wonderful book All the Seas of the World, and even recommends a special holiday cocktail!
As always, our thanks to Guy and we hope you enjoy the conversation.
As we move through the first week of December and into day nine of the Advent Calendar series, Gary spends some time chatting with the incredible Rachel Swirsky about what she’s been reading, what she’d recommend, what she reads on the holidays, what work she has coming out, and her fabulous science fiction novella January Fifteenth (Tordotcom), which looks at how universal basic income might affect some of us.
As always, our thanks to Rachel for making the time to talk to us. We hope you enjoy the episode!
For the eighth day of the Coode Street Advent Calendar, Jonathan called Tamsyn Muir, author of the New York Time Bestselling ‘Locked Tomb’ series, to talk about her somewhat unexpected novel Nona the Ninth, what she’s been reading lately, what she’d recommend, and her thoughts on holiday reads.
As always, we would like to thank Tamsyn for taking the time to chat with us and hope you enjoy the episode.
Earlier this year we talked to the fabulous Kate Heartfield about her novel, The Embroidered Book. Now, for day seven of the Coode Street Advent Calendar, Gary chats with Kate about what she’s been reading, what she’d recommend, and her favourite holiday reads.
As always, our thanks to Kate. We hope you enjoy the episode!
