This episode starts with fantasy books and somehow ends with us questioning an entire city rebrand.

We talk about our newest obsession, Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry, why everyone at The Book Burrow suddenly became obsessed with the series, and what makes a fantasy book actually work for casual readers.

Then we dive into the controversy surrounding Lebanon, Missouri’s new logo after reports claimed the city spent $75,000 on a rebrand. As local small business owners… we have questions.

We also get into bookstore updates, weird internet trends, dangerous cave diving videos, kindergarten graduations, and why your husband probably isn’t actually your best friend.

Normal podcast behavior, honestly.
