Weekly Highlights!

We’re kicking things off by sharing some things that have been making us happy lately! Speaking of things that make us happy: our incredible illustrator, Nicole’s, new merch line! Check out her stuff at www.istoriapress.com, and give her a follow on Insta @IstoriaPress. Another thing that makes us happy: fan club book club! Tune in for a little update on that, from Kayla. Then, of course, books: we have an old classic, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a witchy series, and a coming-of-age mystery. Grab your BATC merch (and stay tuned for a summer addition): https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch. Browse and shop all the books we’ve discussed on this episode and past episodes at bookshop.org/shop/booksandthecity.
