Show Notes

This week we’re deep in Chapter Two of A Little Life — and it turns out JB might actually be redeemable. Sophie pitches Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, Sarah makes a case for The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, and Sallie sacrifices An Enigma of Brontës — which started promisingly and then used a phrase we will not be repeating. Plus reading retreats: Sallie has just returned from Gladstone’s Library, Sarah has strong opinions about which books you should and absolutely should not bring, and we float the idea of an MWLB retreat that we are definitely, absolutely going to organise.

Spoilers for A Little Life Chapter Two.
