Scarface, Pitbull, orcas, a tragic character arc for a young guy in Miami -- it's all there in the caption, basically, but this story is so much more. Thanks to Jennine Capo Crucet for discussing it with us! floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…

Great piece from @stephhayes on what I consider to be the best Florida novel ever written (or, more accurately, its film adaptation)! tampabay.com/opinion/2025/0…
In Ariel Francisco's bilingual poetry collection All The Places We Love Have Been Left in Ruins (from @BurrowPress ), dour subjects such as beer bottles at the ocean floor, overdevelopment, and climate change are approached with sardonic humor! floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…
AI in academia, the liminal nature of Florida literature, a new book forthcoming from @BurrowPress , and a keynote speech at the upcoming Florida College English Association conference were a few of the topics @shanehinton dropped in to discuss with us! floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…
Big thanks to @kristenhare for talking about her new book! This HAD to have been a fun project, and we here at Florida Book Club are vetting them for staycation potential. floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…
@darcyLgreco's narrator Iris is resilient and optimistic in the face of life trials that would be way too much for most people to bear. It was great talking to the author about what it was like to write this character! floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…
Revisiting Ellen Brown Anderson's The Storm with @huneycutt_keith was cathartic, given the storm season we just endured. UP of FL just published a beautiful edition of what is possibly the first novella written by a woman in the state of Florida! floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…
Christmas is a perfect day to discover a novel about petty PTA rivalries, white collar crime, and immature adults! Seriously, Asha Elias' Pink Glass Houses is a great holiday read (or anytime read, really). floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…
@KeeneJarret @AmericanGwyn Is this your car? lol
We kick off Season 11 talking to Doug Alderson about bears, manatees, salamanders, and protecting vulnerable Florida habitats. You will likely not meet anyone who cares about this state's waterways more than this guy! floridabookclub.com/episode-notes/…
@TampaFireRescue I can smell gas in the air in Forest Hills, just West of Florida Ave. Is that maybe related to the leak, and is it dangerous?
This year's Veteran's Day reading

#Academics: Dig in--research, teach, write, administer with wisdom and principle. Humanities scholarship is painfully relevant, it's up to us to be visible. The United States is no different than it was yesterday (the election was but a marker). It's up to us to respond.

@jenstaletovich @WLRN GREAT article
Florida has a long history of storms -- and storm stories. @Joey_Hedger , @legroff , @J_Escoffery @IslandiaJournal floridabookclub.com/blog/florida-s…
@jenstaletovich In places like Sunny Isles Beach, I just marvel that these fantastically massive condos are built 30 feet from the water -- my first thought is always, "Who agreed to insure this??"
ELECTRICITY HAS RETURNED TO MY HOME LIFE. :)
@AlexGurtis Thanks man! Much appreciated. You too.
Stay safe everyone. I am curious to know what is motivating people to either ride out this storm here (Tampa Bay) or get out of town. I am leaning toward the latter option currently.✌️
