Ya girls are back after a much-needed break with their July (and kinda August) reads. This episode's theme is "books we were gifted," and boy were these some doozies. Karson read "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein, and Brindolyn read "Rise Sister Rise" by Rebecca Campbell. 

For the first time in That's Lit history, our hosts both hated their books. 

Listen in to find out why you should avoid these books at all costs. Our books for the next episode are expected to be much more enjoyable. Karson will be reading "Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube" by Blair Braverman, and Brindolyn will be reading "Malice" by Heather Walter.
