Jordan Harper made his first appearance on the program — I was thrilled to have this chance to talk to him about his work. I must confess he had been on my bucket list. I love his novels and I think he's going to become quite well known, if he isn't already.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro LibraryWright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
