S5:E5 - Ambre Sautter & Reshelving Alexandria

A.B. Donahue interviews Ambre Sautter about “Reshelving Alexandria” a bookish community on Facebook and later on Substack (organized originally in 2017). Ambre is a wife and mother of five living in the picturesque landscapes of Iowa, and she aims to be a guide for others on their literary journeys, especially in curating their own home libraries. Though she is a homeschooling parent, Ambre doesn’t primarily use her home library for syllabi, but mostly as a place to track all the souvenirs of the places that books have taken her. (Also did you know the librarians of the Library of Alexandria were all pirates? It’s true!)Mentioned in this episode:* Ambre Sautter* Stories from the Ashes Podcast* Reshelving Alexandria* The Red Door - Rachel Lulich* The Token - Samuel Shellabarger* Steele Savage (Illustrator)* Nellie Bly* The Talisman Ring - Georgette Heyer* The Unknown Ajax - Georgette HeyerClick to learn more about Bandersnatch Books!www.bandersnatchbooks.comSpecial Thanks to:Son of Laughter for our theme song: “Cricket in a Jar.”Evelyn Warnemuende for our artwork.S.D.G.
