Frosty Chicken Nuggets, Hold the Ketchup Books and the City

We have tons of announcements before we get into the book talk today, so buckle up. Stay tuned to hear all about: our new merch, our highly anticipated IRL meetup (in September), a Patreon fan club overhaul, Becky’s September fan club book club announcement, an Istoria Press plug (www.istoriapress.com), and so much more! Phew, after all of that fun stuff, the fish are dying to know about our favorite weird flavor combos before we dive into some book talk. This week, we have historical fiction, a thriller, essays, and a memoir. It’s all about balance, babyyy. THANK YOU for listening!
