Summary
A lost grandson, a talking octopus, and a new unholy alliance between hosts!? This week we read Remarkably Bright Creatures and is was remarkably bad. Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It's fun. It's cathartic. It's perfect for your commute. New podcast (almost) every Tuesday! Here’s the Season 21 reading list: Rose in Chains by Julie Soto Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo Powerless by Lauren Roberts The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney Quicksilver by Callie Hart Send any future book suggestions to [email protected]!
