BATC Turns One!!!

<p>Huge thanks to everyone who has helped us celebrate big this past week! To everyone who's participated in our podcast birthday stack extravaganza - we love you. You still have time to enter via Instagram through March 9 for a chance to win our exclusive wine glass! Just post your BATC-inspired book stack using the hashtag #batcturnsone. To celebrate our little anniversary, we're sharing some never-before-heard audio from the true first episode (and if you're in the fan club, keep your 👀 peeled this week for more!) Then, naturally, some boy band reminiscing before we get into the book talk. Join the Patreon fan club here: https://www.patreon.com/booksandthecitypod.
