Radio Book Club: New Adult Fantasy

What’s up with Sarah J. Maas? The author is not just well known for going viral on platforms like #BookTok, but has also become shorthand for the current zeitgeist of the New Adult Fantasy genre. Our Radio Book Club hosts discuss this emerging genre, as well as the female authors who have paved the way in science fiction and fantasy. Plus, we hear from author Lee Bennett, whose book, Dugout Ranch: A Land Use Perspective 1875 – 1965, examines the history, politics, and science of using public lands for ranching in the American Southwest.
