Starring strong female characters in rich, captivating, historical settings, we can\u2019t wait for you to dive into these two new novels we love.

Our June B&N Book Club Pick is Good Night, Irene by Pulitzer Prize finalist Luis Alberto Urrea. Inspired by the life of his mother, this is the story of the bravery of women on the frontlines of WWII. Urrea joins us to discuss connecting his writing to his own family, what surprised him as he wrote and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over.\xa0

Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea by Rita Chang-Eppig is our June Discover Pick, full of pirates, adventure and intrigue as one woman becomes a queen of the high seas in early 19th century China. Chang-Eppig talks with us about erasure of female stories, morally grey characters, and more with Poured Over guest host, Jenna Seery. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Madyson and Jamie.\u202f\u202f

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f
