ijustreadthisbook--the podcast

TW: gun violence, school shooting, bullying, sexual assault, eating disorder (DAMN JESSICA), and I say the F word a lot:)

"I hope he's someone who can eventually love me exactly the way I am, as Garret and so many others believed Luke did. Maybe he wouldn't fear my bite, my kookiness, maybe he'd get past my thorny bristles to see there is sweetness there. Would understand that moving on doesn't mean never talking about it, never crying about it."

'Luckiest Girl Alive' by Jessica Knoll is genius. She gave us a piece of herself as well as a story that continues to be relevant--unfortunately. And Mallory rejoined me to talk about the movie staring Mila Kunis.

TALK TO ME:

HAPPY SEASON TWO TO IJUSTREADTHISBOOK--THE PODCAST.

"No one ever says good-bye unless they want to see you again."

New season. And new guest.

After Pat read John Green's NF novel, I begged him to read my favorite John Green novel ('Turtles All The Way Down') and join me on ijustreadthisbook--the podcast. I remember when a high school teacher thought I had ADHD and I was like 'uhm no' but the many avenues Pat and I took this hour could have determined otherwise. Or, I just love talking with friends about books and I can't think straight, so I think constantly and say everything without taking the time for my brain to slow me down. Oh well, I hope you enjoy.

NEW SEASON BABAY!

Next episode: 'Ugly Love' by Colleen Hoover on THURSDAY OCT 27.

OMFG Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings (CHRISTINA LAUREN) of this years 'Something Wilder' just keep giving! Their books, the time they gave me and 299 others in Cincinnati and on this episode of ijustreadthisbook--the podcast (the highlight of my year so far). I love this conversation.

Thank you Christina, Lauren, Molly and Kristin.
