If you’ve ever wondered what superlatives we would all win if we went to a four-person high school with each other… then you’re in luck!! Today before we get into the book talk, we’re talking superlatives, and we just get to inflate each other’s egos for a bit. It’s warm and fuzzy. And then, as always, we’re talking about some really solid books: we have a culty drama, a queer Florida novel, and a couple of snowy, winter books - one is about hockey, the other is magical fantasy.
