Welcome to Middle Age

We're planning our Thanksgiving dinner (lunch, Beatrice would call it) while lamenting a dental calamity that has befallen poor Tilip and arguing about whether or not Rosemary has ever heard the phrase "derring-do" (she hasn't). If you're in the US and would like to pre-order Rosemary's book, you can do that right now on bookshop.org, Amazon.com or from Barnes & Noble. If you have questions email us! notwithoutmysis@gmail.com. And while you're at it, leave us a five-star review! We love those. DM us on Instagram @notwithoutmysister.

Now that Beatrice is back in the workplace, our listeners have a lot of work-related questions for her to answer.

Beatrice has a new job! By the time you're listening to this episode, she'll be deep into her first week so please send her alllll the good vibes and pray she doesn't have any broken zippers this week of all weeks. Things we mention… In case you wondered, Rosemary is knitting the Seahorse blanket from We Are Knitters, which seems no longer to be available on the website. This is what the finished product is supposed to look like; if you'd like to give it a go, just DM Rosemary on Instagram and she'll send you a little pic of the (very easy and beginner-friendly) pattern! If you'd like to read along with our in-person book club (and we'll do an episode on the book for Patreon in a few weeks!), the book is Theory of Bastards by Audrey Shulman. Beatrice's borderline-obsessive love of Margaret Heffernan continues apace. In this episode, she talks about Uncharted. And this is the version of The Gruffalo that we have (and Atlas does, as Granny predicted, love it).If you're in the US and would like to pre-order Rosemary's book, you can do that right now on bookshop.org, Amazon.com or from Barnes & Noble.

With special guest Sophie White. You can follow Sophie on Instagram @sophwhitewhoop, read her work on Substack here, listen to her podcasts The Creep Dive and Just Write the Thing wherever you get podcasts, and Mother of Pod exclusively on Patreon, and buy her books wherever books are sold – but Gutter Bookshop is a good place to start if you want to support an indie bookshop. Yes, she's irritatingly prolific.  If you're in the US and would like to pre-order Rosemary's book, you can do that right now on bookshop.org, Amazon.com or from Barnes & Noble.
