A Bouquet of Books

About this episode

The episode discusses books with flowers on the cover as part of a reading challenge, highlighting various genres and food pairings.

This prompt is more versatile than you might think, with plenty of options beyond gardening books. (Yes, there’s even horror, as Michael shows!) Our Picks Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher paired with North Carolina Style Pulled Pork Inciting Joy by Ross Gay paired with Lemon Balm and Mint Tea Powerless by Lauren Roberts paired with Lemon Tarts
