Come with the #BookSquad on a not-so-luxurious European vacation to 1950s postwar Naples, Italy to discuss the HBO series My Brilliant Friend.

And of course, we answer the most important question: F*ck, Marry, Kill: Stefano, Nino, and Marcello? Yes, we fully expect you to write in with your answers. After the show, we get into listener feedback on Suspiria and read your favorite things of 2018. Mary tells us about Lemuria, this month’s featured bookstore, and we break down what’s on the #BookSquadBlog right now.
