We ran out of time on this week’s show to discus

We ran out of time on this week’s show to discuss book recommendations, but in the F&F email newsletter (you’re subscribed, right?! If not, sign up at #linkinbio), our guests told us the latest books they’ve raved about. For @johnhartauthor, his pick is #thedogstars by Peter Heller. @christopher_swann recently read John Hart’s #theunwilling and loved it. He also really enjoyed #congratulationswhoareyouagain by @harrisonscottkey which he described as a hilarious and heartfelt memoir by a writer who suddenly finds fame and riches (sort of) and has to adjust to his new life as A Published Author.
