ep 96.jpg

In This Episode:

We've got the author of the hottest book of the summer (The Incendiaries) in the Damn Library on a hot summer night and we're washing it down with thyme, not to mention the multi-colored-lemon goodness of Rachel Khong's Goodbye, Vitamin (which we now get to talk about as readers! What a blessing!) -- it's all here, plus secrets and religion and MORE.
