THROWBACK: “We Have To Name This One The Tequila Episode” AKA Elevate Your Understanding

<p>The last throwback of this break! We can't want to get back to new episodes next week. In the meantime, enjoy this OLDDD one where Emily fell asleep (: .....It’s almost like every Books and the City episode is a drunk episode! Quarantine-prepping will do that to you, I guess. We kick off this episode with a LARGE shot of Nick Jonas’s tequila, and no one is really sure whether it’s good or not (which probably just means we’re all pretty drunk.) Then, we almost fall right back down the astrology hole when we find out Emily doesn’t know what time she was born, but Becky keeps us on track with a fun, book-related astrology fact. Listen to find out what it is, and then keep listening to get four (very different) books added to your TBR! Read on for links. Bar recs will return after quarantine! Also, got a perfect bar + book pairing in your city, OR any thoughts about the books we talked about in episode 7?
