Lisa Leaheey returns to host a conversation about a 800 page tome that deals with super deep fantasy. But what did Heather, Morgan, Carl, and newcomer Kristi think of the book? Did anyone even finish reading it? And should all novels have charts, graphs, and glossaries attached to them?

Lisa welcomes her fellow book READERS Heather, Morgan, Lackey, and Jason as they discuss Sunyi Dean's 2022 novel The Book Eaters, a fantasy (maybe horror?) book about a race of people who eat books and that's all it really has going for it.
