Chapter One, Scene One
From the page to the screen, and every plot twist in between—Chapter One, Scene One is where books meet their movie and TV adaptations. Join hosts Michelle, Laura, and Katya as they read it, watch it, and (of course) judge it. Welcome back and join us as we discuss our last mini episode in our Reader Habits series: Book Recommendations. Where do you get them from, who do you trust, and what happens when the book rec goes south? Hint: you should probably not send hate texts to that person...I'm looking at you Laura.
SPOILER ALERT - We will spoil it all, you have been warned..
