    Poppin' Off with Julia Langbein

    Dear Julia Langbein, we are honored to have you grace us with your presence on the Bubbles & Books podcast. We are not worthy of such greatness, but are incredibly glad to be discussing your new novel Dear Monica Lewinsky. Your masterful storytelling has once again brought a top-tier book to our shelves.  Truly, we are so excited to have one of our favorite authors Julia Langbein back on Bubbles & Books. We first fell in love with her book American Mermaid and couldn't wait for what she wrote next. We hope you love Julia and her stories as much as we do.

    Everything is Tubular

    This episode is a lot of laughs and a lot of fun. Mariah and Rachel join Ellyn and Amanda to participate in Ellyn's totally tubular game. The premise of the game? Ellyn has changed one word in the top ten Dog-Eared best-sellers and Amanda, Rachel and Mariah have less than two minutes to write a synopsis of a fictional book based on the new title. Ellyn's judges whose story she would read and whose she wouldn't. It's one of our most-fun and chaotic episodes yet.  ______________________________________________________________________ Make sure to subscribe and rate the Bubbles & Books Podcast.

    BetterMENt

    Today, Ellyn and Amanda are joined by our newest book club host Alex Kretzinger. We're so excited to learn more about Alex's new book club and hear which books he's recommending. Cultural expectations around masculinity pose many challenges for boys and men as they struggle to find belonging and healthy connections in relationships, family roles, education, and the workforce. The BetterMENt Book Club aims to explore those challenges through works of nonfiction and fiction, creating a community for participants to discuss how boys and men can better connect in their relationships and their communities and find the motivation to become forces for good in the world. Check out what the BetterMENt book club is reading HERE Ellyn's Currently Reading | One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig Amanda's Currently Reading | Country People by Daniel Mason Alex's Currently Reading | There's Nothing Like This by Kevin Evers Show Notes: Of Boys and Men by Richard V.
