We finished Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. Whew! Spoiler alert, we both loved this one. In this episode, we chat about the last section of the book. We are then joined by Adannia known as Chi Reads on Instagram and Tiktok to chat about the themes of this amazing novel!
Next week, we have a special one-off episode about It Had to Be You featuring the author Georgia Clark. Then, grab your copy of The Guide by Peter Heller which is our next podcast read. We start reading on September 26th and are reading through the end of chapter 4. The first episode about The Guide will come out on October 6th. Chat then!
