"Do You Eat Candles?"

<p>Books and the City is BACK, baby!!! Meaning we’re back together in the same room for the first time since March. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long, but we get right back into the groove of things with some Halloweek talk. And I’m sure you were all worried, but fear not: the fishbowl crossed state lines for this episode recording. After all that chatter, we’re getting into the books with a healthy mix of titles including a rom-com, a witchy classic, a YA classic retelling, and a straight-up classic.
