This week Tayla is joined by Dave and Maggie from the Central Library to talk about media with time loops in honor of Groundhog Day. They discuss why they enjoy media with time loops and what some of their favorites are. They also discuss hopeful future narratives, brain candy, and British original vs American remake. During The Last Chapter they discuss: Is there a book that you weren’t able to finish and why?
