During the first episode of Novels with Nightcaps, Allie and Melinda reflect on the first half of 2020 and what they’ve been drinking and reading during quarantine. They discuss their newly launched brunch-inspired book club (a project born during lockdown), review the books they’ve read together so far, do their own version of the Mid-Year Freakout Tag from Booktube, and trash a book from each other’s TBR lists.
