Today, we're hitting record like 4 seconds after consuming a weird coffee shot drink halfway through a marathon record, so bear with us. Before we get into the book talk, we're sharing which fictional element we'd want access to in the real world. Things get weird, but mostly on brand. And then: the books! There's memoir, YA coming of age, courtroom drama, and a Los Angeles classic. Thank you for listening ❤️!! You can join our fan club here: https://www.patreon.com/booksandthecitypod.
