The Books and the City hosts are once again reunited in person and kicking things off with a bang. After a bit of catch-up, buckle up because we're talking favorite tropes. It's not a BATC gathering if we don't turn our bookish talk into a drinking game! Stay tuned for some somewhat dark book discussions from a range of genres. Thank you as always for listening!
