Like A Real Book Club Podcast Launch: Books That (Kinda) Defined The Decade
Read The Transcript
If you were to ask any member of a book club what goes on there, responses would be in the neighbourhood of, “we interrogate the themes emerging from the story and intentions beyond the words. Oh, and we also talk about how fucking hard natural hair can be but also, our perception of justice being less about victims and more about punishment”. Essentially, we talk about books...and literally everything else. And that’s exactly what the “Like A Real Book Club” podcast is lol.
In our very first episode, we shared and discussed the books we thought shifted the book and publishing industry in the decade that has passed (and we’re not gonna talk about whether it was or wasn’t the end of the decade lol!).
