Hey! Don’t forget to stop by Ink48 Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen this holiday season to donate your gently used books, so that Book Fairies can help redistribute them to underserved communities in NYC & Long Island. Also, join Emily in the New Year to discuss her (last!!!) book club pick, The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb. After these announcements, we’re chatting (for too long) about our Spotify Wrapped, including plenty of conspiracy theories. And after all that: the books :) today, it’s a buzzy pop culture novel, a play, historical fiction, and a weird but great kind of fantasy situation. Thank youuu for listening!
