Description

Fresh from the Logies red carpet, Amanda shares what it’s really like to survive a late-night TV awards show on two glasses of wine and four hours’ sleep. Then, she and Anita turn their attention to book clubs — why we love them, why they sometimes implode, and the delicate balance between friendship, leadership, and actually finishing the book. From Oprah’s “reading revolution” to passive-aggressive surveys, fake book clubbers, and their own hilariously named BBBC, the Chattery duo explore why book clubs are thriving again post-COVID, what happens when they go off the rails, and how reading really is the antidote to endless scrolling.
