A NOTE FROM GRETA & ANNA

Hi Nerd! Hope you’re hanging in and taking care. Here’s some stuff I’ve been enjoying this week, which I thought you might like too:

This week, two books came out that should be on your radar: Mohsin Hamid’s The Last White Man, and Gabino Iglesias’ The Devil Takes You Home.
I am very excited to watch a lot of Paper Girls on Amazon prime!
ICYMI: I got a chance to … talk about the film adaptation of Delia Owen’s Where the Crawdads Sing (and rave about For All Mankind!) on Pop Culture Happy Hour with Stephen Thompson and Barrie Hardymon last month.

And here are some things that are making Anna, our producer, happy this week:

Why not put raspberries in chocolate chip cookies??
This guide to making mini replicas of your favorite books is adorable. I want to make them for my book club.
If you need to take a pause from Beyoncé and listen to something soothing, try Florist’s new self-titled album. It’s dreamy!

Talk to you next week,
