Hey Well Read Baddies! We’re back with chapters 41–44 of Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez — and the emotional stakes are higher than ever. This week, we follow generations fighting for legacy, land, and love, as long-held secrets finally lead to moments of truth and restoration. We’re also chatting about friendship, indie book recs, and all the pop culture chaos that kept us laughing through it all.

Tap in for one of our last deep dives of the season — and don’t forget to leave us a voice note for the finale! oin our virtual book club on the Bookum app, browse our Bookshop.org list, and listen on Libro.fm.
