The Weekly Reader is a round-up of the best (and sometimes, the overrated) new books on the literary scene. University of Baltimore professor, author, and book critic Marion Winik joins WYPR’s Lisa Morgan in studio for a series of capsule reviews of new releases from major publishers, mostly fiction, with a special eye out for Baltimore subjects and authors. Each week, Winik shares her trademark humor and thoughtful insights with public radio listeners. It’s like having a new best friend with very good taste to guide you on your literary adventures. The Ivy is a proud sponsor of The Weekly Reader. All titles discussed on this show are available at The Ivy Bookshop, located in Mount Washington at Falls Road and Lake Avenue. More information at theivybookshop.com or call 410-377-2966. The right book is waiting.
