According to our guest Scott, it's NOT a sequel to "Anna and the French Kiss". Although, that would be interesting. We're back at the Stillwater Public Library and much laughter ensues. We're working out our recording bugs as far as sound level and multiple people talking at once. Please forgive my "mmm-hmms" that run throughout the recording. I'll stop doing that. In the meantime enjoy our discussion of "Anna Dressed in Blood". Our sympathies go to those who live in two-story houses as only those are ever haunted. Us one-story dwellers will remember you fondly. We read: Read Player One by Ernest Cline which you need to read now, now now Rascal Racoon's Revenge and The Avalon Chronicles: Once in a Blue Moon published by Oni Press and written and illustrated by people who's names I unintentionally mangle.

As  mentioned on the the podcast I’ve made playlists for a couple of the books we’ve read. Here’s “Going Underground” by Susan Vaught from the songs mentioned in the book. I kinda got carried away with the many, many renditions of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and a few songs that are just named “Hallelujah”. Oh, well. Enjoy!
