Now while Magda and Lindsay may be literary hoarders in all forms— digital, physical, audible— they understand (kind of) that not everyone may want heaps and piles of books. So in the spirit of cultivation, they’re pulling together their personal capsule bookshelf. 

They’ll each recommend five books that will scratch whatever reading itch you may be having. 

*Please note, while your hosts did their best to cull the very best titles, these are subject to change at any moment because people can GROW and CHANGE, okay? Now, onto the show.
