153. Dishing our opinions on the hottest summer books of 2023
As the summer reading season comes to a close, we\u2019re turning our eyes to fall. With Chelsey on maternity leave, we\u2019ve made some thoughtful adjustments to our plans and structure here at Novel Pairings. Our goal is to ensure that we stay connected and continue to foster the amazing community we\u2019ve built together. The best way to stay connected this fall is through our Patreon community; we\u2019re excited about the bonus episodes, discussion based classes and book club events we have planned!\xa0
On today\u2019s episode, we revisit last summer's buzzy book reviews from our Patreon archives. Each summer, we sit down for a conversation where we share our thoughts on the latest buzzworthy books we've read. Today, we're re-airing last summer's discussion on popular titles, which features some unconventional opinions on well-known works.
