Hi friends, welcome back to Razzlefrat! This month we read Passing by Nella Larsen and we chat allllll about its genius in a true show of book nerdiness. If you’ve read, please let us know what you think! As always, you can keep up with us in between episodes on Bookstagram: @theresinkonmyhands and @grapes_of_ash and our new joint Instagram, @razzlefratpod!
Until then… we bid you adieu.
xoxo, Razzlefrat
