    Chapter 60: That's Razzlefrat!

    Welcome back to Razzlefrat! While endings are bittersweet, we made sure to stay true to our weird selves. This episode we wrap up with the end of the year goals and thoughts for the future. A quick run-down of novellas from November and all the last of our 2024 reads. We discuss the play The Seagull by Anton Checkhov for our last book club. Be sure to follow us on our booksta accounts @grapes_of_ash and @theresinkonmyhands to see any future bookish content. All 60 episodes will remain available to listen or download and our joint insta account @razzlefratpod will end but stay as a relic. Thank you to anyone and everyone to listened to our rambles and silly conversations, even from the days Eclectic Earth Witch and Contemporary Cat Lady. For the last and final time, we bid you farewell. xoxo, Razzlefrat November Novella:  https://lithub.com/the-50-best-contemporary-novels-under-200-pages/ https://lithub.com/50-great-classic-novels-under-200-pages Books/authors mentioned this episode:
