On this episode of The Readerly Report podcast, Gayle and Nicole talk about the myth (?) of the sophomore writing slump and our admiration for authors who can write a book while doing another job. We also talk backlist love and hold our book club discussion about The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker. We thought this would be a short-ish show, but it turns out that we had a lot to say!
