Librarian Natalie McCall chats with Traci Chee, New York Times bestselling author of the Reader trilogy (an imaginative fantasy with suspense, magic, and mysterious objects called books). Her historical novel, We Are Not Free (about four San Francisco teens forced into Japanese Internment camps during World War II) will be released in June 2020.

The two book obsessives talk about how revisiting childhood favorites can lead to epic disappointment, the cat that started following Traci home when she read House of Leaves, and book art.
