Happy July! It’s a chattier chat than usual as we dig into some book news from around Twitter and the business pages.

• Angie Thomas kicks off Twitter controversy by … asking not to be tagged in reviews?
• Microsoft shut down its ebook service, meaning customers who bought books through that service lost them. This is a good reminder to us all that we don’t actually own our ebooks.
• Loud, ignorant people on the internet are mad that Halle Bailey got a job as Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid remake.

We also asked you all what upcoming releases you’re most looking forward to. You gave us some great titles to add to our TBR. Thanks to @curvyblackgeek, @almost_esq, @IamTammiJ and @charelliam for sending us their picks!

As always, thanks for listening and be sure to check out our next episode when we read and discuss They All Fall Down by Rachel Howzell Hall.
