On Thursday, September 3rd, we'll be getting together at La Madeleine to discuss Yellowface by R.F. Kuang.

RECENT EPISODES OF LIKELY STORIES
Likely Stories - Trouble Boys by Bob Mehr
Hi, Malcolm Foster here, operations assistant at KWBU and habitual stacker of books that one day, hopefully, will eventually be read. For this week's episode of Likely Stories, I’m combining two of my passions. Music and the written word.
Likely Stories - The Academy by Elin Hilderbrand
Hi, and welcome back to another edition of Likely Stories. I’m Paige Connell, and I teach English at Midway High School. Growing up, I went to a private school for many years, though it wasn’t a boarding school, and whether it’s in real life or in pop culture, I think there’s just something about the prestige and allure of a private academy that makes people want to know all the potentially lurid details of life behind the curtain.
Likely Stories - Why I Love Horror by Becky Siegel Spatford
I have a confession to make. I hate jump-scare horror movies. I always have. I don’t enjoy being startled. It took me until adulthood before I could even watch fireworks without bracing myself for the next explosion. (Truth be told, I still kind of do). I’m not a huge fan of gory horror movies either. And yet, I absolutely love horror novels.
Likely Stories - Something We Said: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word and Me by Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor
I’m Kevin Tankersley, and this is Likely Stories.
Likely Stories - The Land and Its People by David Sedaris
My name is Maggie McCarthy and today I will be reviewing The Land and Its People by David Sedaris.
Likely Stories - Two Old Women by Velma Wallis
I'm not a huge fan of hot weather. My summer reads tend to be set in cold climates, in wintertime- books that take me away from the heart of Texas. Two Old Women by Velma Wallis is a perfect diversion.
Likely Stories - A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L Peck
Imagine if one day you suddenly discovered that the tenets that have governed your life, through no choice of your own, have been undeniably broken. This is exactly where protagonist Soren Johanssen finds himself at the start of Steven L Peck’s novella, ‘A Short Stay in Hell.’
Likely Stories - Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Haven’t we all thought at one point how nice it would be to get away from the hustle and bustle of workaday life and return to living in simpler times? To disconnect, to live off the land, to embrace true family values? It sounds so refreshing in theory, but I’m not sure I could hack it in reality.
Likely Stories - Bone Valley by Gilbert King
Sometimes the most meaningful gifts come with a story inside them. Bone Valley tells the haunting case of a young man convicted of murder—and the decades-long search for the truth that followed. It’s a gripping look at justice gone wrong, and what it takes to make it right. Trust me—you won’t see the final turn coming.
Likely Stories - The 10 by E. A. Hanks
Gia Chevis reviews The 10 by E.A. Hanks—a reflective road trip memoir about memory, identity, and finding meaning in small moments along the way.
