First thing's first, thank you all for being as pumped about the Books and the City merch as we are!!! Don't forget, these designs will only be available until July 12 so grab yours today. Proceeds are going toward the Black Art Futures Fund. And then stick around because we're talking about fictional BFF's on today's episode. Find out which book character we'd each love to hang with, and please help Emily remember the title of a fifth grade-fave. Then of course, we have some great book talk lined up, ranging from contemporary fiction to very hot takes on a popular YA fantasy series. 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! Check out our website at www.booksandthecitypod.com to order your merch (available through July 12, hurry!) If you want to drop us a line about the books we talked about in episode 15 or anything else, send a note to booksandthecitypod@gmail.com------------->
