This month we read We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker, a crime/thriller set in a small Californian town in the late 1990s but not all is as it seems. Nicholas helps us understand how Christ Whitaker builds up rich characters by delivering information in small bites from secondary parties, the show-not-tell approach I suppose. We also chat about inner monologues, books that feel like sequels but aren't, and we continue writing our novel in comedic fashion using the tips picked up in the episode

The next episode of the BRBC will come out on the 27th march where we will be reading Planetfall by Emma Newman which follows a genius astronaut named Ren as she slowly discovers humanity's place in the universe. We will explore how Emma Newman uses an unreliable narrator to expand her story. Follow the links below for more details:
