This week’s episode was even more fun than usual, because I got to listen to two best friends talk about their favorite books. Daman Tiwana and Kyathi Thakur make me laugh and think every week on their podcast, “Brown Girls Read,” and I was thrilled that I could talk to them together about each of their favorite books.
