We’re a little misty-eyed for today’s release because it’s officially our TWENTIETH full length episode!!! It’s sad that we couldn’t record it in person but don’t worry, we’re still celebrating virtually by reflecting on some of our favorite memories thus far. Then, stay tuned to hear us talk about something other than books for once! We’re all discussing first, last, and favorite concerts before jumping into our book talk. This week, we cover a couple buzzy literary fiction novels and some wonderful (and steamy) historical fiction.  Thank you as always for listening, and for sticking with us through our next twenty episodes, and beyond. Read on for buy links, and check out bookshop.org/shop/booksandthecity to shop the books we’ve discussed on this episode, and all past episodes! Visit our website at www.booksandthecitypod.com to make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter, where we’ll be releasing some exciting news very soon! And as always, please drop us a line at booksandthecitypod@gmail.com for any other bookish thoughts------------->
