Hey friends! Welcome to another ep, before we get into the book discussion, a couple quick reminders: our summer merch! It’s available now! Also, reminder we’re taking a little summer break in July, but we’ll release some great throwbacks. And finally, don’t miss Libby’s fan club book club meeting on June 30 for Love After Love. Then, the books! Today we’re talking cannibalism, the mafia vs. the mob, motherhood when your child is scary, and whiplash on one of the biggest thriller authors writing today.
