Hey, readers. Life really came and kicked some of us in the teeth, but we're back, we got all our shots and we're talking books. Bad news is good news, it turns out. Join us as we catch up, talk Simon & Schuster's complete lack of f***s and accept the fact that we are, in fact, nerds on a power trip. We also try to figure out what Middle Grade is and whether it's just for middle-schoolers. (Turns out, no!) QUESTION: What are your favorite middle grade books for an 8 year old who is reading above her age? — Black Chick Lit (@blackchicklit) April 25, 2021 Be sure to join us later this month when we talk Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid. If you wanna be part of the cool kids club, head over to Pateron and sign up. You’ll also get access to bonus materials including video and podcast outtakes. As always, a very special thank you to our Patrons: Ali, Brittney, Bryonna, Catherine, Ellen, Emily, Erica, Frank, Heather, I Found This Great Book, Jennifer, Kat, Katie, Martel, Melissa, Sylvia, Therese, Whitney and YM. We also love it when you rate, review and subscribe to us on iTunes, Google Play, Google Podcasts and Spotify. Special thanks to Suite45 for our theme song, Jones’n. And thanks to YOU for listening!
