The Grim Reader

Show Notes

Catch up with The Grim Readers as they prove just how Irish they are. Yes, that's right, we talk about the weather. It's just a conversation topic that will never go wrong. We chat about the desperate need of a public bathroom, wearing SPF, and even about breastfeeding. Such a wide range of topics that even we don't know how we stumbled on them. Our books this week are "The Push" by Ashley Audrain, and "Scenes of a Graphic Nature" by Caroline O'Donoghue.
