2020 is halfway over! Hooray! We'll be posting our episode on The Murder of Roger Ackroyd very soon, but we wanted you to know exactly what we'll be reading in July so you can get a head start. Last year, we covered young adult fiction in July. This year, we're switching it up a little and going with another classic horror book: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.

(Dec)Emma
What a lovely play on words, do not you agree? We're so excited to close out 2019 (!!!) with a true classic - Jane Austen's Emma.
