Two Nashvillites hosting a book club. Nerd out with us as we talk books, authors, and our undying devotion to all things paper and print. Read along and join in for a weekly podcast as we discuss our book of the month: what we loved, what we loathed, and all of the little moments that made us do that weird squeal-to-yourself-shimmy thing when the couple we are shipping finally gets together. We aren’t just a podcast; we are a community, and we don’t just want to talk; we want to listen. Follow us or sign up for our newsletter to get your reading list and join the conversation. Welcome to the club, y’all!
