A Second New Books Bonanza!
This week Alice and Kim chat about new November releases! Alice makes the Crusades sound interesting, Kim ponders likability and leadership, and both struggle with what to call nonfiction graphic novels.
This episode is sponsored by Book Riot’s Tailored Book Recommendations (aka TBR), Book Riot Insiders, and Run Like a Mother (the audiobook!).
