Summary

As with salsa, some readers prefer their literature mild. And that's okay! Although Annie and Chris often prefer some darkness in their books, they recognize that's not for everyone, so this episode is dedicated to those readers who prefer something a little PG. It's not just for kids! Also, somebody finally watched Set It Up. Mentioned this week: + The Port William Series by Wendell Berry + The Mitford series by Jan Karon + Gods in Alabama Joshilyn Jackson + Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan + Dreams of Falling by Karen White + Ms. Marvel by G. Willow Wilson + Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple + The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows + The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert + The Rosie Project by Graeme Simison + The City Baker's Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller Thanks, as always, to Forlorn Strangers for the use of our theme music.
