Likely Stories Book Club
Likely Stories has been a local favorite for many years, and now a new chapter in its long standing history has begun!
Each month we will meet to have a fun discussion of one of the titles reviewed on-air on Likely Stories. After the discussion, we'll randomly draw our next book!
To become a part of this exciting group, and for further information, you can sign up to join the Likely Stories Book Club mailing list here.
The next meeting of the LIKELY STORIES BOOK CLUB, weather permitting, will be taking place on Thursday February 6th at 6pm over at La Madeline in Central Texas Marketplace.
The book up for discussion is 'A Visit from the Goon Squad' by Jennifer Egan.
RECENT EPISODES OF LIKELY STORIES
Likely Stories - All Fours
My name is Heather White, I teach Art History classes at Baylor. Before I begin this segment of Likely Stories, I wanted to let you know that this review acknowledges the existence of sexual desire, if this is not appropriate for everyone in your listening space, you may want to return after this three minute segment has ended. Okay, here we go.
Likely Stories - Butter
If it has taken you an annoyingly long time to learn that perfection isn’t a healthy goal and getting help isn’t a sign of a character flaw, then you might empathize with Rika’s journey in Butter, A Novel of Food and Murder by Asako Yuzuki. I’m Gia Chevis with this week’s installment of Likely Stories.

Likely Stories - The Book of Doors
Magical realism isn’t my preferred genre—I typically gravitate toward psychological thrillers with a sharp twist or historical fiction with heart-wrenching accuracy, but when I heard about this debut novel, The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown, a book about books with a unique concept and complex world building just a shade off of our own, I couldn’t resist.
Likely Stories - Hip Hop is History
I finished reading Hip Hop Is History, the latest book by Questlove, on a recent Saturday afternoon. On my walk the next night, I was listening to Terri Gross’ interview with Questlove on Fresh Air. The first song that she mentioned was Rapper’s Delight, the first commercially successful hip hop song. I paused Fresh Air, found the long – like 15 minutes long – version of Rapper’s Delight, and listened to that. Then I went back to the interview.
