Welcome to another nostalgia-heavy episode of Books and the City! Today we're chatting all things TikTok, but mainly how we feel ATTACKED by the young people making their cool dance videos and ripping on millennials in the comments. If anyone can tell us where the youth's awkward phases went, that would be great. Stay tuned for some extremely exciting announcements, including exclusive Books and the City merch!! Plus, a shiny new website and our official hashtag as voted by our listeners. Then of course, the main event: we're talking all books Pride on this episode, to celebrate the final Monday of June's Pride Month. Read on for links, and check out bookshop.org/shop/booksandthecity to shop the books we’ve discussed on this episode, and all past episodes!
