This was our very first Substack Live together, yay! We wanted to get together to discuss our recent buddy read, THE WHISPER NETWORK by Chandler Baker and we had a lot of thoughts about this story. If you’re not familiar with the book, it’s a mystery set in Dallas, about a group of women lawyers whose male boss, Ames, is known for being a sexual harasser, even though nothing is ever done about it. There’s a spreadsheet going around about “bad men” who have harassed women and Ames gets added to it. And thus sets off a chain of events where Ames ends up dead. But the mystery is - did he kill himself? Was it a tragic accident? Or was it murder? Dun dun DUN!Tune in to hear us discuss the characters, the writing, and especially the ENDING. Spoilers ahead, so be warned! If you’ve read THE WHISPER NETWORK, comment below and tell us what you thought. Other conversations you might like… This is a public episode.

Eek, I did my very first Substack Live, y’all! When Sarah Hartley asked me to join her to talk about underrated books we’ve read recently, I was nervous, but I immediately said yes. Mostly because I miss her, and also because I’ve always wanted to try a Substack Live video. In case you’re new here, it’s time for a tiny bit of back story. Sarah and I started Reading Through Life years ago because we wanted to have a reason to talk to each other about books. Then, sadly, Sarah left us last year for other pursuits. But then Carrie Palumbo graciously said yes to joining as a co-host so I wouldn’t have to do this by myself! Anyway, I hope you enjoy our conversation and getting to see Sarah again for a brief visit. I heart your face, lady! -MiaBooks Mentioned:Mia: The Husband Stitch by Carmen Maria Machado from the collection Her Body and Other PartiesSarah: The Sunflower Boys by Sam WachmanMia: Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal by Meghan QuinnSarah: The Book of Guilt by Catherine ChidgeyMia: The Last Father-Daughter Dance by Lisa WingateSarah: The Force of Such Beauty by Barbara BourlandAlso Mentioned:-The Substack article from Kate Jones about The Husband Stitch (there are spoilers!)-The Reading Room-The RTL mood reader book club prompt for March This is a public episode.
