Hi friends, thanks for joining us for another episode! Today, before we talk about books, we’re discussing who we would all love to have as celebrity BFFs. Kayla gets spicy, and Emily lists upwards of a dozen superstars, so it’s fun. Then, the books! We have some YA fiction/fantasy, a juicy oral history, and another nonfiction memoir. Thanks again for listening, and don’t forget to join Emily’s fan club book club Zoom next Monday, 11/22! And get a little sneak peek about her thoughts on the book club book in this ep.
