First things first! Kanopy is live, and I AM THE TARGET AUDIENCE. Give me all the Ken Burns! Give me all the BBC! Hello, independent films! Hello, Cary Grant! What? An entire category dedicated to Mo Willems? Amazing.
Moving right along to our regularly scheduled content.
We’ve got new book club bags coming next week – Blacktop Wasteland, The Season, and Ordinary Grace. I’ve got a social media post scheduled for Thursday, so be on the lookout for that.
The fall lists continue to roll in. We’ve got picks from Kirkus, Vulture, The Associated Press, The Week, and the LA Times.
It’s a new month, and we’ve got September picks from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, The Chicago Review of Books, and The Millions. For all you genre fans, we’ve got sci-fi and fantasy from Lit Hub, historical fiction from PopSugar, and of course, crime reads from CrimeReads.
In screen-time news, the AV Club has 60 TV Shows to Put on Your Radar, and LitHub is putting a spotlight on Literary Adaptations to Stream in September.
Finally, #FridayReads: Obviously, I’m spending the entire weekend watching Kanopy. I kid, I kid. I’ve also been enjoying a one-two punch of nonfiction about animals – Tenacious Beasts: Wildlife Recoveries That Change How We Think about Animals on paper and Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains in my earbuds. Happy reading/listening/viewing!
