Hi, I’m Traci!
I’m the creator and host of The Stacks, a podcast about books and the people who read them. The podcast started back in 2018, it is the great joy of my life. I also talk about books on NPR’s Here & Now, and write a bookish column for shereads.com, and I do a live literary series in LA called One for the Books with LAist. I’m a lover of sports, Black culture, pettiness, and of course, snacks. Never forget the snacks. I’m from Oakland, CA and now live in Los Angeles with my husband, Mr. Stacks, and my twins, The Mini Stacks.
About Unstacked.
This is a place for thoughts and opinions from a book lover with a bad attitude. It won’t only be books here at Unstacked. There will be hot takes. There will also be author interviews, recipes, pop culture recs, and whatever else is getting me worked up.
For now, here is the plan: Fridays will be for everyone, with our author interview series “Read to Know Basis”
