It's fitting that our "odd" month includes an odd recording schedule. Here we are, four days before mid-month, trying to share our progress so far, and the content is...surprisingly rich! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we cover some news on new releases and the British Book Awards, move on to discuss our reading progress which is full of assassins and eating-the-rich, share listener recommendation and rapid fires on odd books, and wrap up with a question about Michael Crichton and how to handle an author's conflicting beliefs. It's a packed episode, especially for ten days of reading, and we hope you enjoy it. You can reach us at the outlets below.
