We Are All Samantha In Quarantine

Happy Labor Day! Books and the City is so excited to kick off this episode speaking to the hilarious founder of the very hilarious @Samantha_in_quarantine Instagram page that you should all be following if you're not already! In the interview, we cover everything from the secret world of American Girl dolls on Insta (#agig), to Susanna's inspiration for the page, to the coping mechanisms that are key to staying sane in quarantine. Then, of course, we're talking about books. We have a nice range today, from classic Russian lit to historical fiction, YA fantasy to a memoir/nonfiction hybrid.  And one friendly reminder: this is your LAST WEEK to order merch from our exclusive end-of-summer launch!
