Likely Stories - The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year...

Likely Stories ·

2025/03/06

It’s not Christmastime anymore, but that's never stopped me from enjoying any story set during the most wonderful time of the year. This one is heavy on mystery, lightly romantic, deeply nostalgic, fully entrenched in the setting.

Likely Stories - Everything We Never Had

Likely Stories ·

2025/02/27

Nearly every time my husband sees me reading he asks, “Reading one of your “happy” books again?” To be fair, he may have a point. For example, listening to the audiobook of a novel that unpacks the emotional trauma of four generations of Filipino men, is possibly not the most uplifting way to spend a drive through the plains of the Texas Panhandle. But Everything We Never Had by Randy Ribay was so worth it. I’m Gia Chevis with this week’s installment of Likely Stories.

Likely Stories - The Book of Doors

Likely Stories ·

2024/11/28

Magical realism isn’t my preferred genre—I typically gravitate toward psychological thrillers with a sharp twist or historical fiction with heart-wrenching accuracy, but when I heard about this debut novel, The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown, a book about books with a unique concept and complex world building just a shade off of our own, I couldn’t resist.

Likely Stories - Hip Hop is History

Likely Stories ·

2024/11/21

I finished reading Hip Hop Is History, the latest book by Questlove, on a recent Saturday afternoon. On my walk the next night, I was listening to Terri Gross’ interview with Questlove on Fresh Air. The first song that she mentioned was Rapper’s Delight, the first commercially successful hip hop song. I paused Fresh Air, found the long – like 15 minutes long – version of Rapper’s Delight, and listened to that. Then I went back to the interview.

2024/11/14

I have a love hate relationship with reading and learning about history.
