EP12: Making Choices, Good and Bad

We open this week with a book that might not be for Sam, who is not a middle-aged woman, it turns out. Hannah is, but didn't really like it either. However, Hannah did love the trad-wife tale that is "Yesteryear," where 1855 isn't all it's cracked up to be. And Sam liked the new TC Boyle just as much — is there a better writer of people who make bad decisions. But then things finish up with a belly-flop. Oh well. Maybe Hannah should have read "Butter," instead. Also, there is a Sarah J. Maas discussion in this episode for no good reason. This fortnight, we read: "American Fantasy," by Emma Straub "Yesteryear," by Caro Claire Burke "No Way Home," by TC Boyle "Hooked," by Asako Yuzuki What sound effects did we give each of these books? You'll just have to listen and find out!
