On this week’s episode Clare and I read Would I Lie to You, the tenth book in Cecily Von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl series. You can listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen. As a reminder, some of these links, including our Bookshop.org link, are affiliates.
This week Clare’s been reading From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout, but contrary to her belief, if you have black irises you are not normal.

This is the 2 Bros video, and this is the TikTok sound.
According to the sources I ended up finding, Bastille Day actually is a day of parties and celebration like we would expect as Americans. It’s a public holiday where businesses are closed and there are dances and fireworks.
