Marathons & Roller Coasters

<p>Hi! Happy Monday! Before we get into the books today, we’re doing a fun little recap of our recent pod trip to Chicago for the 2021 Chicago Marathon. Woo, running! Then, we’ve got some literary fiction about motherhood and millenial connection, plus a witchy rom com and a short but sweet Sleeping Beauty retelling. Don’t forget about book club, if you’re in our fan club! We’re meeting to discuss <em>Beautiful World, Where Are You? </em>via Zoom on Wednesday, October 27 :) thank you, as always, for giving our podcast a listen.
