BSG #33: Lower than Doritos and Salsa / Nine Perfect Strangers with Tirzah Price

Are you ready to change your life? Join the #BookSquad and special guest Tirzah Price (BookRiot) at Tranquillum House for our discussion of 'Nine Perfect Strangers' by Liane Moriarty. We talk about character development, body image, the “wellness” trend, and most importantly, whether Doritos are good. Head to the #BookSquadBlog for more content, including 'Survivor' recaps, a roundup of fall poems, new TV and movie reviews, and Emily’s Spooktober series. Speaking of spooky things, read along with us for our October 21 #othersode on Grady Hendrix’s novel 'My Best Friend’s Exorcism.' After that, our next #bookpisode will cover Akwaeke Emezi’s debut novel 'Freshwater.' Join us for that discussion on November 4. In the meantime, we want to hear from you!
