Feminist Book Club: The Podcast

August is Women in Translation Month and Casey is here with a big ol' stack of books from her personal library to share with you! All are translated by women, spanning languages like Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Croatian. Additionally, Casey discovers she needs more adjectives to describe when she appreciates a book. Any suggestions?

In this episode, Jordy talks to Lana Harper and Jilly Gagnon about their upcoming novel, Cards on the Table. This is a witchy, atmospheric mystery that explores family, self-trust, and the power we discover within ourselves. Today, we'll be diving into what it means to claim your power, trust your instincts, embrace who you are, and push back against the voices, both internal and external, that make you doubt yourself.
