174. July Book Club: The Poet Empress

Our July Book Club pick was The Poet Empress by Shen Tao, and we're so glad so many of you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, it didn't quite work for us. While we all agreed the writing was beautiful and poetic, the story itself fell flat. We also share a bit of bookish news in this episode, so even if you didn't read this month's pick, we hope you'll still tune in! Announced in this episode is our August Book Club selection: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn! It's a thriller and a throwback pick we can't wait to discuss.   Currently Reading: Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson Recursion by Blake Crouch The Divorce by Frieda McFadden Dolly All The Time by Annabel Monaghan Every Version of You by Natalie Messier
