Retrieve your cuppa. We are spilling the tea on the good, the bad, and the ugly of “Beyond the Story,” a book that promises the behind-the-scenes story of the K-pop group and global phenomenon, BTS. We’re in conversation with Sharanya, our former podcast producer and a member of BTS Army. From the highs to the lows, we dissect what disappointed us about the book and uncover its saving graces. We share insights on  BTS for the uninitiated, delve into the individual musical tastes of the boys, speculate on their comeback, and discuss the unique connection they've built with their fans. Join the debate: is the book a literary delight or is it merch?  Pssst: We’re going on a little break, but we’ll be back next month! In the meantime, tune into Sharanya’s playlist, “BTS songs as stages of grief” here.   You can find Supriya Nair at @supriyanair and Deepanjana Pal at @dpanjana on Instagram.    If you have any books, reading or literature-related questions, please email us at [email protected].    For a list of all the books mentioned in the season so far, check out: https://thelitpickers.fanlink.to/books   This is a Maed In India Production; check us out at www.maedinindia.in.  Creative Director: Mae Mariyam Thomas Project Manager: Shaun Fanthome Head of Audio: Kartik Kulkarni Producer: Meghna Gulati  Sound Editor: Lakshman Parsuram Artwork: Alika Gupta   Theme Music: Easy Wanderlings - Here’s to You
