Grace just got back from the Texas Library Association annual conference and talks about the panel she was on; the topic of girl books and boy books. She’ll also give you some tips on how to sleep in an airport as a woman if you ever have to!
Let’s talk microagressions! Grace and Alvina discuss about getting confused for other Asians. There is a woman in Northampton where Grace lives and she is the only other Asian in the book community that Grace knows. Everyone thinks they look alike!
Grace and Lisa…do you think they look alike?
People sometimes confuse Grace for Lisa!
Alvina gives Grace a lesson on all you need to know about book auctions. They discuss what the difference between spring books and fall books are and their pros and cons.
As usal, they end with what they are grateful for. Alvina is grateful for her colleagues at Little Brown Books for helping her while she’s on sabbatical. Grace is grateful for the podcasts because they have helped her become better at speaking up and out.
