In this episode of the Oldish Book Club co-hosts Dr. Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust and our dear friend Leslie Ross-Degnan read and discuss The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. It's a better book than we expected, full of twists and turns and Oldish themes. The Netflix movie is pretty good, too.

In this episode of Oldish: Conversations on Aging in the 21st Century, co-hosts Dr. Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust are once again joined by their good friend Leslie Ross-Degnan for another installment of The Oldish Book Club. This time they read and discuss The Woman Who Met Herself, by Laura Pearson. It's a fascinating look at Oldishness through the eyes of identical twins who only discover each other in their 60s. It's a fine novel, and one we all enjoyed reading.

You can find this, and other books we read and love, in the Oldish Book Store on Bookshop.org. If you buy any book after clicking on this link Oldish will get a small commission, and an independent book store of your choosing will get a percentage of the cover price. It's a great way to support Oldish and your local independent book store.

Also, Leslie was this year's winner of Ann Whitford Paul Award for the most promising fiction picture book, for her story LITTLE CROW.

Leslie Ross-Degnan is the winner of the Most Promising Fiction Picture Book Manuscript Grant for her story, LITTLE CROW. Comfortable writing poetry, she needs just 243 words to tell Little Crow’s day from waking up to falling asleep. Like all children, Little Crow tries to do what bigger crows do, which leads to difficulties that will make for fun illustrations. Children will love the musical language and identify with the desire to do the same as big people. With the added perk of a counting story, this will make a delightful read to young audiences.
