PODCAST – Episode 137 – Fall Book Preview and Alisha Rai’s Girl Gone Viral

Gin Jenny — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 11:00:50 +0000

It is Part Two of our inadvertent two-part series on romance novels centered on viral moments (the first part being Talia Hibbert’s Take a Hint, Dani Brown). Today we’re talking about the angst-forward member of this pair, Alisha Rai’s Girl Gone Viral, and learning about the relative angst tolerance of each of us two Jennys. We also chat about the books we’re excited for in Fall 2020, as well as the things we’re reading and something-elsing (watching and listening to, respectively), and try not to get too silly even though we recorded on a video chat this time. You can listen to the podcast in the embedded player below, or download it directly to take with you on the go!
