Join Holly and Liz for their classical conversation in this month's episode. Which of the "classic" classics are must reads? Dracula? Pride and Prejudice? Where do modern classics land on the scale of importance?

These bookish friends discuss all of this while also talking about Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary and Allison Saft's new release, A Far Wilder Magic. Plus, get caught up on some book news highlights of the last month. Do you think an author should raise money on a crowdfunding site to pay for publishing their books? This is one of the topics that comes up this month.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
