Put on your magic hats and watch out for bathtub ghosts because the #BookSquad is discussing “Doctor Sleep” this week! Join us and special guests Jen and Justin as we dig into the sequel to “The Shining” and discuss the films vs. the novels, what is “scary” in this movie, and how well the movie works overall as a sequel to the original. Head over to the #BookSquadBlog for more content on television, movies and books, and join us for our upcoming episodes! Read along with us for our next #bookpisode on “American Spy” by Lauren Wilkinson (12/2), and listen as we celebrate our favorite things of 2019 on our next #othersode (12/16).
