FANTASY+GIRL Podcast is back with a new series celebrating summer reading! Emma and EJ arechoosing a book for the other to read. The duo will then lead a deep dive into the chosen stories on the podcast! Which book did Emma choose for EJ?
BUNNY by Mona Awad. Emma chose this book hoping to appeal to EJ’s love of weird—but wellwritten—speculative fiction. EJ loves Catherine House and Her Fearful Symmetry—and Emma thinksBunny fits nicely with those titles (even if it is a bit weirder…possibly even darker?).

FANTASY+GIRL is going back to school with a series dedicated to the nostalgia of summer reading assignments! For the series, Emma C. Wells and E. J. Wenstrom will be challenging each other with SFF books to read, and then come back to discuss. Here, E. J. reveals what she's challenging Emma to read first, and why.
EJ is assigning Emma to read HOW TO LIVE SAVELY IN A SCIENCE FICTIONAL UNIVERSE by Charles Yu. EJ has been a Charles Yu fan for years and this was the novel that started the obsession. This story starts with a time travel repairman stuck in a mutliverse full of tropey playfulness that any science fiction fan is going to get a kick out of, but underneath it, this is a story about a man trying to untangle the mess left behind when his father mysteriously disappeared, and what that means for himself and his mother left behind.
(Hint: EJ loves audiobooks but says to read this one in print because of the mathematical formulas and creative use of space on the page)
