“I am a student of literature!” with Issy Murray

Hey, hi, hello! This week, our number one fan Issy Murray jumps on the mic with us to chat all things bookish and answer the devilish questions. Together we also discuss hating Aperol Spritzes, Killing In The Name Of by Rage Against The Machine, their Dad’s reading tastes, Dr Who being a nerd, and men mysteriously growing moustaches for attention.  Issy recommends having an hugo spritz or a frozen pineapple margarita! (Or both!) Ems recommends the new Genesis Owusu album “Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge”.  Elizabeth recommends Off Campus on Prime Video.  Listen to make us literary hot girls!  Get in touch!

Books we'll NEVER read
