2021-04-208h 56What You Should ReadYou Should Read: Klara and the Sun (Book Club episode with Angie Kim!)Send us a textHi, Should-Heads! Today, Miracle Creek author Angie Kim comes back to discuss Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's our third book club book, and we absolutely loved it.

Buy it, read it, listen to this episode and then find us on social media to discuss it. We'll definitely have even more to say. Links mentioned in this episode:Angie K...
