FANTASY+GIRL Podcast is back with a new series celebrating summer reading! Emma and EJ are choosing a book for the other to read. The duo will then lead a deep dive into the chosen stories on the podcast! Which book did Emma choose for EJ? BUNNY by Mona Awad. Emma chose this book hoping to appeal to EJ’s love of weird—but well written—speculative fiction. EJ loves Catherine House and Her Fearful Symmetry—and Emma thinks Bunny fits nicely with those titles (even if it is a bit weirder…possibly even darker?). The story has dark academia vibes with a dose of Mean Girls…but with magic and monsters. Sort of… How can you join the fun? Easy! Read Bunny, and let the Emma and EJ know what you think! You can comment on their social media or email them at [email protected] Bunny, we can’t wait to hear from you!
