Books in 140 Seconds: Barnheart

By , on April 19th, 2012

Grab your granny and swing her round, because it’s time for the monthly hoedown we like to call Books in 140 Seconds. Keeping with the theme of Gardening, Farming and Food month here at KIRBC, Erin and I took on twenty-something farmer Jenna Woginrich’s memoir, Barnheart. Check it out:

For more on Jenna and her farming life, I’d highly recommend you check out her excellent blog, Cold Antler Farm.

If we haven’t run off to start a farm and buy a goat, Books in 140 Seconds will be back next month, when we’ll share some mad love for Heather Birrell’s Mad Hope.

Books in 140 Seconds: The Juliet Stories

By , on April 2nd, 2012

Welcome back to your monthly installment of that microfiction of book clubs, Books in 140 Seconds. Last time we relished the quirks and quarks of Jessica Westhead’s And Also Sharks, and now we’re featuring another short story collection, The Juliet Stories by Carrie Ann Snyder. There was so much to talk about in this one that we went over our time and still couldn’t talk about it all. Have a watch has we talk about Carrie’s striking precision and eloquent insights (or, at least, that’s what we should be talking about, we do tend to ramble as the camera rolls):

Next month’s video will be on a special theme, to be revealed tomorrow! So stay tuned for that, and a whole month of goodness ahead.
