Discussed in this episode:
Romance
Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
I love this one on audio, thanks to the incredible voice work of Adjoa Andoh (voice actor for series)
A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean
(I mistakenly called this “A Scandal by Any Other Name” in the podcast; forgive my error. It’s part of Sarah MacLean’s The First Rule of Scoundrels series, and I should know better than to try to record a podcast while sick!)
Thriller/Mystery
Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache Series
Memoir
Crying in H Mart: A Memoir by Michelle Zauner
Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang
Graphic Novels
Historical Fiction
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
