    Speaking LITerally #69: Book Club featuring Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver

    Nothing makes a podcast better than talking about a book focused on serial killers falling in love with each other and then having an either/or speed round that is just as disturbing, but that's what you get in the latest episode. All that and a lot of laughs. We also talk about Game of Thrones and the new app "Upscrolled". But, once again, the book club girls go a little off the rails, although it's for all the best reasons. Check it out and share the laughter and the love of books. Until next time.... #HappyReading About Speaking LITerally Resident bookworms Liz & Holly explore their favorite world--BOOKS--in this all new podcast focused around new releases, old favorites, and everything in between.
