August is all about women who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature! We may have had only 14 authors to choose from (thank you, patriarchy), but we are thrilled to promote these amazing women writers. We also have another special guest on the show who recommends two of her favorite Nobel winners.

We are having a special deal in our Etsy store! Use the code promo code NOBELWOMEN for 15% off a book blind date or a Reading Women tote!

We're having a meet up at the AJC Decatur Book Festival! Sign up for updates about times and locations here and check out the official website for the festival here. (Note: our meet up is not an official festival event.)

Check out our Patreon page to learn more about our book club and other Patreon-exclusive goodies. A special thanks to our patrons Angie, E., Jennifer P., Carley T., Deborah W., and Stephanie W. Follow along over on Instagram, join the discussion in our Goodreads group, and be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for more new books and extra book reviews!
