Book Shop of Beverly Farms @bfbookshop.bsky.social · 16/09/2026FINALLY, author #6 from Six Stories a Semester! Jason Rice's "Buffalo" is an elegant piece of dialog, like riding along in the back seat. Dude worked on "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," "The Joan Rivers Show," and "Can We Shop?" WUT. 041

She's written 25 books, including “The Lioness of Boston,” based on the life of Isabella Stewart Gardner, and now she's written a short story for us that pushes the boundaries of what a story can be! 022

Book Shop of Beverly Farms @bfbookshop.bsky.social · 18/08/2026But, also, we talked about the new Audrey Niffenegger on EP21. Have you even listened to that yet? 011
