- 19: Fangirl by Rainbow RowellIn this episode, we discuss Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell in depth, talking about everything from sister relationships to our own experiences with fandom! Molly is convinced she's dreamed up extra scenes, Rhiannon is adamant about the pronunciation of Levi, and we talk about the impact of this book on our lives so far (and whether it would still have the same influence on the next generation of young adult readers). We recommend reading the book before listening to this episode as spoilers are present throughout.Books mentioned:A podcast talking about books with two readers, booksellers, and Nora Ephron devotees, Molly and Rhiannon!Links:Instagram: @PodAroundTheCornerTwitter: @PodAroundCornerAnchor: https://anchor.fm/pod-around-the-cornerEmail: [email protected]Music by Bea Duncan (@beaduncan_)1 hr

About The Pod Around The Corner
From the publisher's feed
A podcast about books with two readers, booksellers, and Nora Ephron devotees, Molly and Rhiannon! Each week, they’ll be talking about what they’ve read, what they're reading and books they want you…
to read as well. Tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell the owner of the rival bookstore who’s trying to shut you down because then you might fall in love! Episodes are released fortnightly.
