Joy: AND WELCOME BACK TO
"OZARKS LIVE!".
IT IS FINALLY READY FOR BOOK
CLUB!
I'M READY TO FIND BOOKS TO ADD
TO MY LIST.
GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL!
YOU HAVE A READING CHALLENGE
GOING ON FOR FEBRUARY?
YES WE HAVE THE WINTER
READING CHALLENGE GOES TO THE
END OF FEBRUARY, FEBRUARY 29.
THERE ARE 15 DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM,
REALLY YOU CAN READ -- YOU KNOW
HOW TO READ FIVE BOOKS PRETTY
FIT THE FIVE CATEGORIES, YOU
WIN A MUG.
Joy: THAT'S FUN!
YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF
FEBRUARY.
WE WILL START WITH YOU,
CORRECT?
WHAT'S THE FIRST BOOK.
WHAT IS ONE DAY?
ONE DAYS WRITTEN BY A
JOURNALIST WHO CHOSE A DAY AT
RANDOM AND THEN COLLECTED
STORIES THAT HAPPENED AROUND
THE UNITED STATES ON THAT DAY.
THE DATE IS DECEMBER 28, 1986.
HE LITERALLY DREW THE DATE FROM
A HAT.
THE COUNTY REFLECTS SHORT
STORIES, SHORT NEWS STORIES AND
HE RESEARCHED WHAT HAPPENED TO
THOSE PEOPLE AND HE RESEARCHED
THE NEWS AND FOUND STORIES.
THERE IS TRUE CRIME, SLICE OF
LIFE.
Tom: WHAT IS IT LIKE SAYING
THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS EVERY
DAY?
WHAT YOU GET FROM IT IS THAT
WHILE DECEMBER 8-- THAT DAY
DIDN'T MEAN MUCH TO ME BUT IT
CHANGED OTHER PEOPLES LIVES.
Joy: AND NOTHING TO SEE
HERE.
THIS ONE IS HUMOROUS.
IT IS A STORY ABOUT SOME OLD
HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS A COME BACK
IN CONTACT AND ONE ASKS THE
OTHER TWO NANNY FOR HER
STEPCHILDREN HAVE A UNIQUE
PROBLEM WHICH IS, WHEN THEY GET
UPSET, THEY SPONTANEOUSLY
COMBUST.
IT IS NOT A FANTASY BOOK BUT IT
DOES HAVE A LITTLE UNBELIEVABLE
ASPECT TO IT.
Joy: I WOULD THINK SO.
I WONDER WHAT HE ATE BEFORE HE
WENT TO BED TO SAY I WAS GOING
TO WRITE THIS BOOK.
-- >> THIS IS IN THE HORROR
GENRE.
ANYWHERE YOU LIVE, LEGENDS,
TALES, HE HAS TAKEN THE STORY,
ISRAEL URBAN LEGEND ABOUT THIS
WOMAN AND HER YOUNG DAUGHTER
WHO WERE BURNED AT THE STAKE IN
THE EARLY 1900S, AND THE STORY
STARTS WITH THIS HAPPENING IN
1931 AND IN 20 YEARS LATER, IT
IS TOLD AROUND A CAMPFIRE THAT
SOMEONE THAT WAS THERE AROUND
THE TIME AND A BOY WHO WAS AT
THE CAMPFIRE MAKES IT INTO A
MOVIE IN 1971.
THEN THE MOVIE GETS REMADE IN
THE 1990S WITH -- LIKE SCREAM
AND IN THE -- THEY MAKE A
PODCAST SO IT'S HOW STORIES GET
RECYCLED.
IT IS ALSO ABOUT STORIES ABOUT
WOMEN AND WHO GETS TO TELL THEM
AND HOW.
AND MEN DESTROYED THEM
SOMETIMES.
A LITTLE BIT.
[LAUGHTER] >> Joy: ALL RIGHT,
--
YES, EVERYONE PRETTY MUCH
KNOWS JANE EYRE BUT THEY FORGET
ABOUT THE THIRD SISTER, ANNE,
AND SHE IS BEING RECONSIDERED
IS THE MOST RADICAL.
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY ABOUT A
WOMAN WHO LEAVES HER ABUSIVE
ALCOHOLIC HUSBAND AND LEAVES TO
GET HER KID AWAY FROM THIS GUY.
IT IS A LOVE STORY AND OF
COURSE, BECAUSE IT IS THE
VICTORIAN ERA, YOU NOTICE KIND
OF CONSIDER ONE OF THE FIRST
FEMINIST NOVELS.
Tom: SHOCKING!
IT WAS SHOCKING AND IT WAS
CALLED DISGUSTING AND CHARLOTTE
WAS NOT REALLY A FAN OF IT.
IT IS BEING RECONSIDERED IN A
NEW LIGHT NOWADAYS.
Joy: I LOVE IT!
WHITNEY AND KONRAD, THANK YOU
SO MUCH!
THANK YOU.
Tom: COMING UP, DID YOU KNOW
THAT TODAY'S NATIONAL WEATHER
PERSONS DAY?
Joy: WE DID EXIT WE

SLEEVE FOR YOU GUYS.
Tom: DON'T GO ANYWHERE
BECAUSE LOOK AT THERE IS 100
