Cannot think of a better title! Big thank you to Patreon supporter Millie for coming on the pod with Jenny to share some recommendations. Jenny's choice was Grady Hendrix's My Best Friend's Exorcism and Millie's choice was Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stephens - but what were our bookish pairings? We also did some recommendations for listeners based on Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers and What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher. Let us know what you would have recommended based on these titles.


P.S. If you can think of a catchier title, please help!
