Do They Fall in Love!?

<p>Bust out your Thin Mints, kick back and enjoy some book talk (once we get past the cookie talk, of course). We’re discussing pretty drastically different books today: there’s a book about an affair, a book about grief with a misleading cover, some thinly-veiled One Direction fanfic, and a fantasy about a whole lot of things all at once. Something for everyone! Let’s also take a quick moment to highlight that Becky has slept with wolves. Casual. Read on for links, bar recs, and more! And if you have a perfect books/bar pairing in your city, let us know!
