Hannah is at the New England Independent Booksellers Association Spring Fling (or something like that), and it's a late-night recording to beat the band. Mostly, both Hannah and Sam are fired up about the release of "Ministry of Time," which they've been wanting to talk about since they read it as an advanced-reading copy. Yes, it's a time travel book, but we never really leave this time, so don't get scared. We promise: It's not sci-fi! (Or, of course it is, if you like that sort of thing.)

But we've also got thoughts on "Real Americans," an obscure Marvin Gaye biography, the big hit Bulgarian book of 2012, and "Sipsworth," which is about an old woman who makes friend with a mouse, but isn't as boring as that sounds.
