A LITTLE TOO QUIET: THE FERNDALE LIBRARY PODCAST

Gabriella Gamez - Second First Dates

Gabriella Gamez is a Mexican American author living in South Texas. She writes about incredibly messy, well-meaning women trying their best and accidentally falling in love. Her latest, 'Second First Dates,' is out at the end of July! And Gabby has a history with our cohost Emma, so we start off with a charming bit of anecdotes that led to their friendship! 

Kayla Rae Whitaker - Returns and Exhcanges

A sweeping novel of one Kentucky family’s rise and fall throughout the 1980s—a tragicomic tour de force about love and marriage, parents and children, and the perils of mixing family with business, from the acclaimed author of The Animators  https://kaylaraewhitaker.com/returns-and-exchanges/ 

National Library Week

We'll tell you ALL about the best week of the year, and how to celebrate it properly :) 

Love & Other Books! Our Indie Bookstore Neighbor!

Erin Cambron, co-owner/manager of LOVE & OTHER BOOKS, joins us to talk about her store as it nears its two year anniversary. Cambron talks to us about curating a charming, cozy vibe, and a culture, too, as a combination of romance novels and children's books, but also serving as an events space, particularly for book clubs and storytimes. 

April 25 is Indie Bookstore Day, so that's an excellent time to visit the store (if you haven't already). But ALSO, Erin talks to us about bigger plans down the line, looking ahead to the Banned Together Book Fest on October 10. https://bannedtogetherbookfest.com/
