Summary
Feeling like diving into summer with some engaging reads? Listen to this episode in which hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Ellison Weist jump into two books set in and around water—one is a debut that Ellison quite enjoyed, while the other is a dystopian tale. Ellison has praise for the historical war-and-love story in the episode’s mix, while the hosting duo is divided over the new novel by the Pulitzer-prize-winning author of Less and Less Is Lost . Sarah is enamored with the “dear” protagonist and his adventures, while Ellison finds the characters too precious and predictable. The novels they discuss: Under Water : Tara Menon Underlake : Erin L. McCoy Children of the Wild : Kevin Powers Villa Coco : Andrew Sean Greer FeistyFest Info: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/ Feisty Running Retreat, Feb. 5-8, 2027 in Austin: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-womens-running-retreat/ Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themotherrunner/ Support our Partners: JAMBAR: Use code AMR20 to get 20% off at http://jambar.com/ Previnex: Use code AMR15 for 15% off your first purchase at https://www.previnex.com/ Hettas: Use code STAYFEISTY for 20% off at https://hettas.com/ Currex: Use code AMR15 for 15% off at https://currex.com/ Tifosi Optics: Use code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://tifosioptics.com/ PLUS: Register to win a Free Pair of Sunglasses: https://feistymedia.activehosted.com/f/121
