25. Quarterly Favorites: The Best Books We Read in Summer 2020

We love to take time to reflect here at Novel Pairings. Each season, we stop and consider our favorite episodes, our favorite reads, and what we've learned. Today we're sharing some personal updates, gushing about our favorite reads of the summer, and giving listeners a peek at what's to come in the fall.  Shop our Quarterly Favorites on Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/lists/quarterly-favorites-spring-2020/ Use our referral code to get two audiobooks for the price of one through Libro.fm: https://libro.fm/redeem/novelpairings   Books we both read: Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo [14:03] The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett [16:45] The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham [18:24] The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavincencio [21:27]   Chelsey: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert [29:17] The City We Became by N.K.
