Welcome to The Page 1 Challenge. On this book lover’s podcast, it is meritocracy, or rather Page1itocracy that matters. We don’t reveal the author, title, or any description of a book until AFTER we read page 1. So the first page has to impress you enough to make you want to read the book.  Can it?  Let’s see!

[ SPOILERS - DON'T READ UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO THE EPISODE!! ]
