A Non-Human Perspective: Books and Bites Podcast, Ep. 58

On this episode, we discuss the tenth prompt in the Books and Bites 2021 Reading Challenge, books from a non-human perspective. We share plenty of options for this challenge, with books from the point of view of a vampire, a pacifist dragon, a robot, and more. Plus, our Adult Outreach Librarian Peri Conley stops by to talk about her love of "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka.
