Talk Booky Reaches for the Stars: Episode Three

Time to round-out July with a final discussion of all things stars, skies, or something like that. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we check in on our TBR progress and mourn a small reading slump alongside the greater challenges of toxic gender roles, politics, and discrimination (the latter three are much more important than the first - to be clear). We open the episode with some news full of book recommendations, cover the few books we managed to power through since mid-month, and finish with random recommendations. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below!   Books Discussed at Length: Violets - Kyung-Sook Shin Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions - John Langan Dolls and Daggers - D.L.
