In this week’s bonus episode Corrie dips her toe back into the podcasting world for our mid-year freakout. Join us as we take stock of our reading so far in 2023 with our favourite books and characters, and look ahead with new reading goals and episode formats.

In this bonus episode, Lucia is joined by a very special guest - Tatyana, the host of ⁠The Bookish Banter Podcast⁠ - to discuss Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. Tune in for our thoughts on sci-fi dystopia, similarities to the Hunger Games and the short-sightedness of Y. A. protagonists.
