Today before we get into books, we’re talking weirdly specific colors. You never know what you’re gonna get with this pod! Don’t forget to join Emily’s fan club book club coming up on April 3 at 8pm ET - she guarantees a playlist that will “bop,” so don’t miss it. We’ve got second chance romances, messed up culty thrillers, delightful contemporary fantasy, and messy 20-something sagas in Seoul. Oh also, chime in in the comments if you think Becky’s book gave her whole Vegas trip bad vibes. Thank you so much for listening! Grab your BATC merch here: https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch.
