This week, Kyrie and Cori discuss summer reads, as well as what the definition of a summer read is.
Tea Time
During their discussion, Kyrie and Cori drink Plum Deluxe’s Evening in the Garden Herbal Tea, which is deliciously light, sweet, and a bit flowery. The tea itself is BEAUTIFUL, and you can see pieces of rose, elderberry, lemon… It’s a beautiful color combination (see picture below).
What we are talking about
Kyrie’s pick, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid goes in and out of past and present as a journalist writes Evelyn’s biography to be published once she dies. However, it’s a tumultuous journey of ups and downs, love and hate, heterosexual love and same sex love, pain and glory… it really is a fast, quick, summer read. There are some HUUUUUUGE shockers in the story and man oh man, Kyrie just gobbled it all up and finished it in a day.
Cori’s selection, Hey Ladies! The Story of 8 Best Friends, 1 Year, and Way, Way Too Many Emails by Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss is your typical girl read–how many of us have sent emails to our girlfriends with the greeting “Hey Ladies!” It is a unique format in that it is told through emails and texts. Although fluffy and bit over the top with drama, it still is relatable and relevant when you start thinking about all the friendships in your life and how y’all communicate with each other. Again, a super quick and easy read.
Sponsor
Our Sponsor this week is… Books and Tea Podcast! Head over to Kyrie and Cori’s GoFundMe page to donate to your two favourite podcasters to help them with their operating cost. They run a tight ship, but it still costs money to have a website, buy tea, and books, and the general maintenance of maintaining this business of theirs!
