Description

Today we’re talking tattoos! If we have any, how many we have, what they ~mean~, if we think we’ll ever get any, and of course some matching BATC tattoo possibilities… cough cough. Then we’re getting into some great books, so buckle up for translated lit fic, a buzzy book from years ago, fascinating historical fiction, and a Parisian thriller. Thanks as always for listening! You can get your BATC merch here: https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch. Browse and shop all the books we’ve discussed on this episode and past episodes at https://www.bookshop.org/shop/booksandthecity.

Welcome to your new favorite literary podcast! Books and the City Podcast is hosted by four New York City-dwelling, book-nerd best friends who met for one Bookstagram book club, and the rest was history. Unlike most bookish podcasts, each episode of Books and the City stays spoiler-free. Every Monday, the hosts come prepared to discuss the last book they read, meaning you’ll walk away from each weekly episode with four new must-read titles! Pour yourself a glass of whatever, and meet your new favorite book club.
