Text the Bookcast and say "hi"!

Welcome to Your Next Great Read from the Okie Bookcast! This month, Hannah and I are joined by Clay Mattox, bookstagrammer and member of the Book Bros. We get into everything from scifi to horror to fantasy to love stories and more. If you like your bookish conversations with a side of Taylor Swift and New Girl, this is the show for you!

Quick note: The book Hannah discusses for her backlist pick contains some content that we thought might be a bit much for some listeners, so we pulled the conversation from the show. If you'd like to hear it, you can check it out on YouTube here. The book is Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica.
