E30: We’re Relatively Normal Here

Smack and Gabi reconvene after a bit of a life-induced break and go over what they’ve read since they last saw each other.  This episode is mostly Gabi reads, but with some overlap due to her Smack Shelf books.  Highlights include a complicated fantasy novel with friends teaming up to burn the world down to save a wife, a bunch of murderous and yet somehow beloved convicts trying to escape their prison ship, and a devastating contemporary(ish) fiction novel about friendship and video games and an NPC who deserved better.  Tune in next month for the complimentary wrap-up of Smack reads!
