Hello, hi, welcome back! We’re kicking things off today, naturally, with prolonged chit chat about stuffed animals, because why not? Then, a couple quick reminders (like hurry and buy your merch if you’ve had your eye on it, because it’s going fast and we’re not sure when we’ll restock! And join us on Patreon next week for the first book club discussion about The Ex Talk!) Then, finally, the reason you’re all probably here: some quality book talk. One quick reminder, because a couple of today’s books have content warnings: we always include the timestamps below our shownotes, and we do our best to include content warnings before getting into our books. You can and definitely should skip over a section if you’re not up for hearing about anything we’re discussing! That’s what they’re there for. Thank you for listening! You can buy merch here: https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch. Come hang with us on our Patreon fan club at https://www.patreon.com/booksandthecitypod! Shop all the books we’ve discussed on this episode and past episodes at bookshop.org/shop/booksandthecity. Make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter on our website, and send us an email at booksandthecitypod@gmail.com.------------->
