Mashreads Podcast

This week on the 'MashReads Podcast,' we are joined by author Jeff Zentner to discuss his latest novel 'Goodbye Days.' And, as always, we close the show with recommendations: Jeff recommends 'The Last of August' by Brittany Cavallaro. The book is the second book in the 'Charlotte Holmes' series. "Both books are the most utterly brilliant blend of commercial and literary writing." He also recommends 'History Is All You Left Me' by Adam Silvera (which we talked about here on the MashReads Podcast with Silvera himself). And finally, Jeff has been reading books by Khaled Hosseini. "He is what I want to be. His books are so poignant and so resonant and so beautifully written." Aliza recommends the 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians' series after seeing the new off-broadway show 'The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical.' "They're fun and they're funny. Even though when you are reading them, it's very clear they are written for 12-year-olds, there are some deep dark stuff barely under the surface." Pete
