“Fascism, Baby! Get It Outta Here!”

<p>First things first: we are incredibly grateful for all of the support we received on our most recent, brief episode in which we touch on the Black Lives Matter movement and news of the day. Keep in mind, we will keep the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/16oZ-MiEoQarnK_8tXNMFeK6ByPkRRlweISnxTOaJHxA/edit?usp=sharing">Google Doc link</a> to that resources doc in the link in our bio on Instagram, so we hope you’ll continue sharing; we will certainly continue updating. Anyway, thank you for tuning into another episode a little later in the week than usual! Today, we’re realizing that we’ve basically forgotten how to interact with other people during this quarantine. So apologies for the awkwardness, it’s just who we are now. Before we talk about a bunch of different books, we each lay out our quarantine mood boards. Get excited to hear Emily stan Harry Styles, Kayla reflect on some comforting TV nostalgia, Becky on the satisfaction of finding the perfect ambiance video pairings for her current read, and Libby on her latest obsession: plants. Read on for links, and check out our <a href="https://www.bookshop.org/shop/booksandthecity">Bookshop.org link</a> to shop the books we’ve discussed on the podcast. We won’t be recommending bar pairings during quarantine, but we’ll bring them back after all this. If you have a perfect bar + book pairing in your city, OR any thoughts about the books we talked about in episode 11, send us a note at booksandthecitypod@gmail.com-------------&gt;</p> <p>Libby just read: Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo (<em>20:10-30:45</em>)<br> <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062882769/clap-when-you-land/"><u>https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062882769/clap-when-you-land/</u><br> </a>Up next for Libby: Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner</p> <p>Becky just read: 28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand (<em>30:50-44:51</em>)<br> <a href="https://www.littlebrown.com/titles/elin-hilderbrand/28-summers/9780316420051/"><u>https://www.littlebrown.com/titles/elin-hilderbrand/28-sum
