Book Squad Goals

Looking for a book club but don't have time to squeeze real-life meetings into your schedule? Join Book Squad Goals, a bi-weekly podcast about—you guessed it—books, plus all the garbage pop culture we consume when we’re not reading (that’s what our “othersodes” are for!). While you’re paying attention, check out our website & blog at booksquadgoals.com, where we have weekly posts about books, pop culture, and probably our pets. We love our pets.

Minisode #8: We Saw It In Our Now Memories / Stranger Things 2

It’s time to enter the Upside Down with the Book Squad as we discuss Stranger Things 2. Play some synth music and take the Which Stranger Things Kid Are You? quiz along with us. Then we’re talking character arcs, strong female characters, middle school “romance,” and 80s pop culture. Don’t worry; we do discuss the controversial 7th episode: “The Lost Sister.” Plus, we discuss our next book. On our next fullpisode, we get a little murdery with The Girls by Emma Cline. Read along with us and send us your Stranger Things 2 comments and questions!
