We finished Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. Whew! Spoiler alert, we both loved this one. In this episode, we chat about the last section of the book. We are then joined by Adannia known as Chi Reads on Instagram and Tiktok to chat about the themes of this amazing novel! Next week, we have a special one-off episode about It Had to Be You featuring the author Georgia Clark. Then, grab your copy of The Guide by Peter Heller which is our next podcast read. We start reading on September 26th and are reading through the end of chapter 4. The first episode about The Guide will come out on October 6th. Chat then! -- Other books mentioned in this episode: The Bad Muslim Discount by Syed Masood Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass Speak No Evil by Uzodinma Iweala Legendborn by Tracy Deonn Mondays Not Coming by Tiffany D Jackson Allegedly by Tiffany D Jackson Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus Salt Houses by Hala Alyan All the Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy Piranesi by Susanne Clarke It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover This will make more sense if you've listened to the episode, but Erica HAS published in a Nature journal (not THE Nature journal... we can't all be Gifty).
