I ADORED Hot Wax, I adored Hot Wax before I knew ML Rio had a viral book a few years ago. I adored Hot Wax before I found out the book had been misrepresented about a major bookseller and how that created a cascade of problems. I adored Hot Wax before I learned what a "method author" was, and how the form of a vinyl record inspired and informed the book.

I adored Hot Wax before we talked about how camp and queer all those 80's hair bands were with their eyeshadow and hyper-masculinity. I adored Hot Wax because it is a heartbreaking look at a father daughter relationship gone so right and then so tragically tragically wrong. I also adored it for the 40 year old woman getting to have hot sex in a threesome.

I adored it and then I sat down with M. L Rio and I adored it even more.

If you haven't listened to Amy Clark's Book Gang Podcast interviews - you are missing out! Here - let me help you out. Go listen.

She does impeccable research and asks brilliant questions and she really and truly only recommends books she loves. Amy has great taste and she's never recommended a book to me that I didn't love. (see recently - Fingersmith by Sarah Waters.)

So, she's great. And! She does this Summer Reading Guide every year - it's recent releases, debuts, she goes back into the vault to find some great backlist books. She lays it out like a gorgeous magazine - honestly, it's one of my favorite things to do when the weather turns nice. I get a copy of the guide, sit in my back yard and read it front to back. It's a seven dollar treat to myself.

Amy on this podcast talks about some amazing books across so many great genres! Here are links to all of them:
