Ep. 9 Summer Reading Episode: Elizabeth Little's PRETTY AS A PICTURE

Here From There: Conversations with Burroughs Alums

Happy Labor Day. It's the day that reminds us that summer has come to a close, and even though Summer Reading was due for current Burroughs students a week and a half ago, today is the due date for Here From There listeners.

At the end of John's conversation with novelist Elizabeth Little in Episode 6, (go check it out, if you haven't already!) John assigned her latest novel, Pretty as a Picture, for summer reading. If you don't have it yet, it's not too late! Head to your local bookstore or library, or go to EB's website: https://www.elizabeth-little.com and pick up a copy. It's a quick and fun read.

If you haven't read it, you can still enjoy this episode, but, you know...why not just read it?

And then enjoy a little bit of John and EB's conversation about the book, the craft of writing, and crock pots. Yes, that's right: crock pots.
