Episode 25: Same Nerds, Different Year

Happy 2021, all you beleaguered dukes and spirited mistresses! In this week's episode (which, as you may be able to guess, we recorded on Wednesday morning!), join the mayor and deputy mayor of Nerdville as we tell you way more than you ever wanted to know about our 2020 reading stats and 2021 reading resolutions. Plus, we'll talk Bridgerton, rereads, grownup onesies, and feminist chickens. You know, the usual. For readalikes, book lists, and antiracism resources, to learn more about attending a virtual book club meeting, or just to chat, find us here or email us directly at [email protected] (Shannon) or [email protected] (Shandy). Our next meeting is Sunday, January 10 at 11:00 a.m. PST. We'll be reading The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite, and we would love to have you join us! You can also find us on Instagram at @theknitterlybookworm and @shandybeereads!
