Hi, Should-Heads! Today, we discuss one of Julia's "wheelhouse" books: the short story collection. (Everyone has wheelhouse books; the ones that, for whatever reason, they are guaranteed to buy.) We'll be exploring more of our wheelhouse books in future episodes. Do you like short stories? If so, which are your favorites?
ALSO, we are excited to announce that we're giving away a three-month membership on Libro.fm and it couldn't possibly be easier to enter. Learn more here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxctwfL5kD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
