I can’t stop listening to the news, it’s stressing me out to the max, you say?

I’m literally listening to the news right now, and may be developing an anxiety-induced twitch, you say?

If that’s how you’re feeling right now, you may be in need of a little escape this summer.

Perhaps a good book is in order?

Well, if that’s the case you’re in luck because our next guests are here to hook you up with novels, non-fiction roller coasters, and storylines that’ll make you forget TikTok dances exist for a while. You’ll be like Tyla Dance what, never heard of her.
