Intro music by Mitch Meadows

We are discussing our book for February, My Sister the Serial Killer. 

We decided to separate this into two segments. So the first half of this episode is spoiler free but the second part is FULL OF SPOILERS!!! 

We also announced next month's book and our new posting schedule. We forgot to put the posting schedule in the non spoiler part so If you don't want to listen to the spoilers just pop over to our Patreon to see the new schedule. And become a Patron while you're there! 

Welcome to our second episode!!! 

In this episode we discuss facts about African/African American Literature and play a game called Name That Book! We also explain our new teams and how you can join a team by becoming a patron at patreon.com/damnyoubook 

The game idea in this episode came from Jenna and Julien's podcast (Jenna&Julien). You guys should totally listen to them. They are hilarious and fun! 

We are still testing different equipment so bare with us! 

Thank you to Mitch Meadows for creating the intro and continuing to help us with editing and all the tech stuffs! (we attempted to edit this episode ourselves lol)
