Book Hype

Emma is joined by her friendly OverDrive librarians to chat about all things book hype. They explore questions like " Is it worth the hype?" and "Do you pay attention to hype?" and how it impacts personal reading tastes or not! They also have a respectful conversation about books that did not quite live up to their expectations and then share some books they're REALLY looking forward to for the fall.Books mentioned in this episode:   The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune  Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle  Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldry (Bookshops & Bonedust coming soon)   Emily Henry  A Dowry of Blood by S.T.
