Welcome to our last, lost episode of 2023! Well, not lost but a bit buried which seems sort of fitting for the year - anyone else feel that way about 2023? Speaking of lost, we talk about a lost album plus the humorous side of murder, and inclusivity in the books we’re loving.

Welcome to Episode 25 of This Podcast is Overdue with April and Christi and our special guest, Reba Tierney! Each episode we talk about books we're reading, things we're loving, and library advice we're giving!

Reba is the Waltham High School Librarian and she poses an intriguing question to us that has plagued librarians for ages … what is historical fiction anyway? And why does it matter? Reba also talks about her school’s infamous Read-A-Thon which made its COVID-come-back this spring. Hear about all that, plus the books we’re reading and much more!
