This week Tayla is joined by Lucas and Ottavia, co-owners of Riffraff Bookstore + Bar in Providence. They discuss how taking over the ownership of Riffraff, for them, is about keeping what is special about the store going. They also discuss books about food, The Golden Bachelor, and preferences for streaming services. During The Last Chapter they discuss: If you could rewrite a book from another character’s point of view, what story/character would you choose?
