BSG #14: Birthday-sode / The Mothers

The #BookSquad visits SoCal this week as we discuss The Mothers, Brit Bennett's stellar debut novel. We cover motherhood (duh!), guilt, grief, and the like. But have no fear, this isn't a bummer episode! In fact, it's pretty cute. The Squad is celebrating the one-year podversary of #BookSquadGoals, so you'll also get to hear us exchange "secret Santa" gifts in honor of this special birthday. Thank you for listening to us for a whole year, and don't forget to rate and review us and check us out on booksquadgoals.com! 1:08--Podcast new year resolutions 5:27--Summary 8:00--Perspective and the mothers 11:23--Motherhood and moms 21:11--Grief and guilt 26:25--Luke 35:30--FEELINGS 38:08--Mom2BE is back! 40:53--Nadia 47:00-Emily's magic make out skills 57:40--Ratings! 1:00:05--RP1 feedback 1:03:03--featured bookstore: bombshell comics! 1:07:25--presents! 1:21:37--Mary's Cheryl Blossom poem, then more presents! 1:29:35--whats up next--UNFRIENDED
