Weekly Roundup: Newspapers.com, Recent Reads, and Parenting Best-Sellers

About this episode

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.

Catherine's library find is a resource that you can most likely find at your own library: Newspapers.com, a repository of archives from all over the U.S. and six other countries. Find your great-grandparents' wedding announcement or read up on crimes like the Panama Hat Heist of 1904.

Terri's random recommendation this week is not one, but three books: Two she's recently finished, and one she's just starting. She finished (and loved) A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and enjoyed Jim O'Heir's memoir about Parks & Rec, Welcome to Pawnee--but suggests skipping the audiobook on this one. And as a dutiful English major, she's now reading Everybody Behaves Badly: The True Story Behind Hemingway's Masterpiece The Sun Also Rises by Lesley M. M. Blume. Mentioned: The TV adaption of A Gentleman in Moscow, which we watched and enjoyed last summer.
​​
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2019 on parenting best-sellers on Amazon. Guess what? Things haven't changed much in five years!

Next week's lineup: 
  • Lost S2 E4, "Everybody Hates Hugo," on Tuesday, January 14
  • Shrinking S2 E11, "The Drugs Don't Work," on Wednesday, January 15
  • Weekly roundup on Thursday, January 16

Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
