We tried to think of comforting books to read during quarantine and failed. What is comfort? We've never heard of it.
Next time we will be discussing Passing by Nella Larsen. You can get it and read along with us.

We didn't set out to talk about politics and the pandemic, but it's nearly impossible not to since Jenny Offill's Weather could not be more relevant to the current situation.
Up next is Passing by Nella Larsen.

There will be explicit content on this episode because we both read stories by famous gay erotica writer Chuck Tingle. Warning: You will hear lots of laughter! This is Version 1 of the episode, we get a little personal about our fears during this time, so if you want solely uplifting silliness, listen to Version 2.
We're reading Weather by Jenny Offill next week!

There will be explicit content in this episode because we both read stories by famous gay erotica writer Chuck Tingle. Warning: There is lots of laughter! This is Version 2, with even more laughter and any mentions of the cosmic void have been edited out, in case that's what you need right now.
Next week we're reading Weather by Jenny Offill.

This week we read and discuss The Collection by Nina Leger which is about a lady who commits her sexual partners penises to memory. It's explicit. I literally cannot imagine any of you listen to this with children, but just in case you normally do, don't this time. There's also a quiz about the Bad Sex in Fiction Award at the end of the episode, plus a Mad Lib. So, what I'm saying is. This one is fun.
Our next book discussion is going to be Weather by Jenny Offill. We mean this always, but this time we really mean it when we say get it from a local independent bookseller. They need you now more than ever.
