In today's episode, Kayla is announcing her August book club pick! Hint: it's a buzzy, summery read by an author we've talked about on the pod before. Then, naturally, we're discussing past lives before we talk (more) books, including: a couple of mystery, murdery YA novels, historical fiction, and poetry! This might be our first poetry collection on an episode, so yay for firsts. Thank you so much for listening! Join our fan club at: https://www.patreon.com/booksandthecitypod.
