First thing’s first, mark your calendars for Libby’s November book club. We’re reading All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews on Wednesday, November 30 at 8pmET. Hope to see y’all there! On this week’s episode, the three of us are chatting about NAMES! Including our own name stories, and what we’d pick for our first names if we could choose. Then, we have a wild assortment of books that are honestly hard to sum up, so you gotta just listen. Thanks so much for listening!
