Hey friends! Join us, because we’ve been recording in person all day, and we’re starting to feel a little loopy. Before we get into the books, don’t forget to pick up your copy of Beautiful World, Where Are You? by Sally Rooney, because that’s the October fan club book club pick! Libby is hosting this month, on October 27, so we hope to see you there. After that announcement, we’re discussing our favorite podcasts of the moment (other than our own, of course). Then the books! Today, it’s all about witches, the Astors, campy exorcisms, and a YA novel in verse. Thank you for listening, we hope you’ve enjoyed!! Grab your BATC merch and own your main character moment here: https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch.
