Tune in to hear more about the plans for our NYC bookstore crawl, and don’t forget to join Becky’s fan club book club discussion coming up in early June! After those announcements, we’re getting into our “cartoon outfits.” Keep listening if you’re not sure what that means :) then we have a few classics, a beloved historical fiction, and a “f***ing wild” YA thriller.
