Welcome to our first episode! I'm Steph from @Stephanieshouseofbooks and today I'm chatting to the coolest man on bookstagram, Zack from @literaturelad.⁠

We discuss our mutual love of Bret Easton Ellis, what really happened at Dolly Alderton’s show, and the magic '50 page rule’.

Plus, which iconic author does one of us shamefully admit to never reading?

Is there a cool person you’d like to hear on our podcast? Let us know in the comments!
