Show notes: We have a confession to make: We hoard books. There! We said it! We’re two bookish nerds, so it makes sense, right? But the problem comes with having many (too many?) unread books on our shelves. Listen in to today’s episode as we shop our own shelves and make a pact (with many exit clauses) to read our selected titles.    Click here to join us on Patreon to get extra bookish goodies like bonus episodes, end of year rating guides, book club, and more!   Related Links: Books mentioned*: Henry and the Chalk Dragon by Jennifer Trafton Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal  The Astronaut and the Star by Jen Comfort American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover New Kid by Jerry Craft The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka The Extraordinaires by TJ Klune Mother in the Dark by Kayla Maiuri (available August 9) Commencement by J.
