Today I welcome back the always delightful Kate Khavari to give you all some book recommendations if you love the movie The Mummy. Kate’s new book, A BOTANIST'S GUIDE TO TRADITION AND TREACHERY, is also a perfect book comp to this iconic film. As always, Kate has impeccable taste, and she did ask for feedback from you all that read these recs, so be sure to follow her on social media.
In the episode, she mentions the television show, Time Team, which is both on streaming services and on YouTube here.
Kate is on tour, and I will be in conversation with her in Waco at Fabled Bookshop on Thursday July 16th, 2026 from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Find out more here.
