Episode 27: Rivers Solomon's "An Unkindness of Ghosts" Part 2 (feat. Black Chick Lit)

Matilda might still be the living worst, but at least we're enjoying the ride with some new friends <3 This week, we are joined by Dani and Mollie of the iconic, hilarious, and truly one of a kind podcast, Black Chick Lit! Black Chick Lit is a bi-monthly podcast that talks books by and about black women across all genres and forms. As far as their bios go:

Dani (DL) reads because she’s too poor to do much else. She studied journalism at the University of Missouri, so really, what did she expect? She’s sick of YA but will devour some Harlequin novels. She’s a producer of digital content and she lives in St. Louis. Find her on Twitter and Goodreads.

At various points in her life, Mollie (EM) has been called a bibliophile, an “Advanced Reader” and a bookworm. She is a former English major who loves footnotes and compendiums; and her name appears on the NaNoWriMo bulk-email list. She lives in southern California. Find her on Twitter.

We wrap up our discussion of An Unkindness of Ghosts and talk about everything ranging from the corruptive nature of power to the little known facts of early parenthood to even LGBTQ representation on MTV's Are You the One? We laugh, we analyze, and we hope you enjoy this thunderous collaboration :D
