#book clubs

On this week's Dear Book Nerd, Rita chats about spoilers, scary books, and other bookish problems!

Welcome to the Dear Book Nerd podcast, a bi-weekly show that answers your questions about life, love, and literature! My special guest host this week is the wonderful and informative Swapna Krishna.
