Show Notes
[Apologies for some dodgy bits of audio in this episode, unfortunately we couldn’t come up with a solution that we could get to in time because our batteries are low but we still love you and thank you for listening anyway] Welcome back to the third and final part of The Low Battery Book Club, where we consume way too much culture and talk way too much trash. If you need to play catch up on the first episode of this series, you can find it here. The second episode, where we unpacked cancel culture and Clare Stephens’ new book, The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done, can be found here.
On the show today:
- We share our favourite recs of the month (something old, something new, something high, something low)
- We deep dive Chosen Family by Madeleine Gray
- We talk about the business of book covers.
- AND! Charley gives you a whole lot of recs based off what you’ve been loving reading.
And here’s our ‘something old, something new, something high, something low’ for December…
