We’re back with S9E1: Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, with special guest and REAL author David Hill (The Vapors). This book is one of the most popular novels we’ve ever read — it’s been on the NYT bestseller list for 2 years straight — but it was a fan recommend so you know we had to rip it apart! And boy is there a ton to talk about in this colorful story.

Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It's fun. It's cathartic. It's perfect for your commute. New podcast (almost) every Tuesday!

Here’s the book list for Season 9:

- Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
- Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld
- The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
- Danielle Steel: Daddy’s Girls by Danielle Steel
- Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
- Shoe Dog by Phil Knight
- All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood
- Life Code by Dr. Phil
